Our Story
In high school, my best friend gave me the nickname “Jenna Marie” a name that instantly conjures memories of a time when I felt safe, secure, and truly happy. When it came time to choose a name for this foundation, I knew I wanted one that would remind me and every survivor of that sense of safety and hope.
Our Mission
The Jenna Marie Foundation for Survivors of Abuse is dedicated to empowering survivors of domestic violence, intimate partner violence, and sexual assault by delivering holistic, immediate, no-cost, and confidential services. We believe every survivor deserves safety, support, and a path to independence.

What We Do
At The Jenna Marie Foundation for Survivors of Abuse, we believe in a collaborative and compassionate approach to supporting survivors. Our role is twofold: connecting survivors with trusted community service providers and directly providing critical support where we can. Our efforts have helped survivors by providing:
-
Emergency Financial Assistance: Offering money to cover urgent service needs.
-
Transportation Services: Arranging safe transportation to essential appointments, services and shelter.
-
Basic Necessities: Supplying food and clothing during times of need.
-
Personalized Exit Strategies: Helping survivors develop tailored plans for safely leaving abusive situations.
-
A Compassionate Ear: Providing a safe space for survivors to share their stories and feel truly heard.
In addition to these direct supports, we remain committed to collaborating with community partners to expand access to holistic, immediate, and confidential services. Last year, our first Annual Christmas Extravaganza was a tremendous success, and we’re excited to offer it again this year as a celebration of community, hope, and resilience.
