Spotlighting Local Charities and Nonprofits Giving Back to Peoria
KZ Cares and shines a spotlight on Peoria area nonprofit organizations making a positive impact here at home. Each month, we highlight a new group with a spirit of giving to our community.
The Center for Prevention of Abuse (CFPA) is the only agency authorized by the state of Illinois to provide a combination of domestic violence, sexual assault, sexual abuse, human trafficking, and adult protective services for survivors of abuse. Annually, CFPA serves nearly 6,000 people affected by violence and abuse. CFPA offers school-based abuse prevention programming to students pre-K through college age, reaching more than 41,000 young people each year. Through these activities, plus community presentations and trainings, CFPA lives out its mission to help all people live free from violence and abuse.
CFPA is hosting its 8th annual I Run with Survivors 5K run/1 mile walk on Saturday, April 12 in East Peoria in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month and those impacted by sexual violence. CFPA encourages participants to rally their friends and family to join them at the event. Every step taken on April 12 brings CFPA closer to its vision of building a safer, more peaceful community. Proceeds from this event support CFPA’s free and confidential services for survivors of sexual violence. The crisis line is available 24/7 1-800-559-SAFE (7233).
