Alpha Chi Omega works throughout the nation to build awareness of domestic violence, to help prevent it, and to aid those who are victims of it. The Zeta Nu chapter at Texas A&M helps to support this cause by donating and volunteering at Phoebe's Home, the local domestic violence shelter.
Victims of domestic violence needing emergency shelter are referred to Phoebe's Home, a component of Twin City Mission's DVS Program. Founded in 1978, Phoebe's Home is an emergency shelter for victims of domestic violence. Phoebe's Home operates 24 hours a day, and primarily serves Brazos, Burleson, Grimes, Leon, Madison, Robertson and Washington counties.
In addition to services made available to non-residents, Phoebe's Home provides emergency shelter, nutritional meals, laundry facilities, daily needs (toiletries, clothing), transportation, and recreational activities for its residents.
The Domestic Violence Services program supports an active volunteer program. Volunteer opportunities include: assisting with clerical support, child play, organizing/facilitating children's activities, tutoring, education/training for residents, assisting with daily living activities, minor maintenance, grounds keeping and fundraising.
