Join us as we fundraise and premiere a documentary detailing the stories of three dynamic women from the CFLS community who have overcome the difficult challenges of experiencing HIV, incarceration, and homelessness.
Through this documentary, we demonstrate how CFLS is dedicated to supporting the journey of women who have been incarcerated and its intersection of HIV/AIDS. Our goal is to eliminate the HIV/AIDS stigma while promoting prevention, awareness and health and wellness.
Come hear how you can be part of the journey and support the women who inspire us all while learning of the impactful work of CFLS.

Please tell me more about Community Family Life Services.
Since 1969, Community Family Life Services has provided children, families, and adults with the tools and resources needed to move beyond poverty and homelessness. CFLS supports women who are returning home following a period of incarceration by assisting them as they move into permanent self-sufficiency. Amidst this unprecedented pandemic, our primary focus has been to keep our community safe, while continuing to find the best ways to serve the everyday essential needs of our clients.

What will you do with the money you're raising?
Money raised from this event will go directly to our services for reentry women, homeless families, and survivors of domestic violence. Our event speakers are a direct representation of the work we do: we are deeply connected to the women we serve, and we are taking an innovative approach to improving reentry services.
