Programs & Events

Our most powerful impact comes from educating the community about relationship violence.

  • "I want to express my thanks and gratefulness to H.U.G.S. Sharon for helping me at the most difficult time in my life. Working closely with the Sharon Police Department, they provided emotional and financial support as I took the first steps to ending an abusive relationship. Not only did they rekey all my locks and insure the exterior of my home was well lit. ... No questions asked, no complicated system to get help, just kind, caring folks helping me get back on track."

  • “Every year on numerous occasions H.U.G.S. Sharon has assisted the department with several domestic violence incidents. The Sharon Police Department has been very fortunate to have this organization readily available to help Domestic Violence victims in anyway necessary.”
