Care Packs are provided to area law enforcement when responding to a domestic violence call. Once the scene is secure, items within each CarePack are given to victims and any children in the home.
A small book of encouragement is given to each victim, and every child receives a small stuffed animal with a note of encouragement. Contact information for Hope Restored is clearly marked on every item. This gently provides access to referral information.

Court Packs are provided to the Victims Assistance Division of the Huron County Prosecutor's office for domestic violence victims. When coming to court, these items are given to domestic violence victims by an advocate.
Each Court Pack includes a notebook & pen with our contact information.
Law Enforcement Partners
Another year, we walked attendees through the steps that help prevent abuse & harm by empowering them to use their senses, make the right choice and have courage & strength to act when in a tricky situation.
Finally, we talked about difficult emotions, providing some of God's solutions for consideration on how to manage unhealthy emotions and prevent them from stealing our joy and peace.
Since August 2021, Hope Restored has partnered with area churches in their back-to-school community outreach event called Love Norwalk.
Every year, we pitched our tent. Dedicated and caring volunteers talk to hundreds of attendees. One year our topic was about loving others better using the 5 Love Languages. Another time, we talked emotions and brainstormed ways to respond in difficult situations, using our words & actions to heal and never hurt.
