Sojourner Family Peace Center is the largest nonprofit provider of domestic violence prevention and intervention services in Wisconsin. The Milwaukee-based organization supports families affected by domestic violence as they seek safety, justice, and well-being. Sojourner provides lifesaving services that protect and empower over 11,800 people annually. The organization’s most utilized services are its 24-hour crisis hotline, emergency shelter, and Hope & Healing programs. In addition to helping survivors, Sojourner educates community members about domestic violence and available resources.

County Prestress, through the Sonnentag Foundation, partners with Sojourner to provide survivors a place to find peace. Each year, the Sonnentag Foundation supports dozens of worthy organizations and causes in four services areas, including Hunger and Homelessness Support, Military Personnel and Veteran Support, Sexual Abuse and Domestic Assault Services, and Youth Mentoring and Skills Building.
