In 1975, five passionate women—the “founding mothers” of The Atlantic County Women’s Center, now AVANZAR—established a 24-hour rape and sexual assault counseling hotline, receiving forwarded calls on their home telephones. With an increasing number of domestic violence calls to the hotline and few social services resources available to help, they quickly mobilized their efforts. The founding mothers opened their own homes as “safe houses” to provide emergency shelter for survivors of domestic violence.
From these humble beginnings nearly 50 years ago, AVANZAR has built a reputation as a professional women’s agency in the forefront of advocating for women’s welfare issues. Over time, our organization has evolved and expanded its services in accordance with the needs of the community and our mission to empower individuals and families by working to secure their physical safety, emotional well being, individual freedom, and economic equality.
In addition to our foundational hotline and crisis shelter, we now offer advocacy, emergency services, and counseling for victims of domestic violence, support programs for human trafficking survivors, domestic violence awareness and prevention services, community education, and more.
We are holding a fundraiser for AVANZAR on TUESDAY, JULY 28, 2026 at the DECK @ GOLDEN NUGGET, ATLANTIC CITY, NJ. 6:30 pm - 11:30. No cover, donations are appreciated.
HEADLINING: Don’t Call Me Francis, FM, Cheers the Band and Party Wave. Hosted by DJ Bobby Wish.
