Founded 48 years ago, JBWS is the only agency of its kind in Morris County whose sole purpose is the prevention of domestic violence through the protection and empowerment of the victims, the rehabilitation of family members, the advocacy for social change to prevent partner violence and the education of the public about domestic violence and its consequences. Over the years, JBWS has received both local and national attention for its vital services. Business leaders, as well, have recognized JBWS as a premier agency that addresses the issues of domestic violence.

At the heart of JBWS' success are its life-saving services. Here, families hurting from abuse can get help through a 24-hour helpline; The Arbour House - a confidential safe home for victims and their children that provides counseling; and The Simon House - a transitional living resource center providing life skills education, vocational counseling, and financial awareness programs. JBWS also provides legal and court accompaniment services, counseling for abusers, community/professional education and dating abuse prevention programs. Through these bilingual, comprehensive services, families receive the special help they need to put domestic violence behind them and begin new, self-sufficient lives. JBWS is also the lead agency for the Morris Family Justice Center in Morristown, a coordinated one-stop resource provided by multiple service agencies.

Comprehensive services at JBWS are provided by a professional staff, along with the support of some 180 volunteers. For more information, please visit our website at www.jbws.org or call the 24-hour helpline for special assistance 1-877-R-U-ABUSED.

A Special Thanks to Our Committee

The Friends Fundraising committee of JBWS was founded in 2009.  The committee is made up of volunteers who are dedicated to JBWS' mission and support the services we provide to women, men, and children who are victims of domestic violence.  These dedicated individuals have raised over $400,000 since 2009 by sponsoring various fundraising events.  They are community-minded events purposefully planned and priced so many people can attend and participate in the fun.  Attendees also learn about the important work and critical services that JBWS provides, all while helping to raise much-needed funds for the agency.  These events, include tricky trays, clothing drives, and shopping events.

In addition to the countless hours these volunteers spend planning and organizing these fundraisers, many of the Friends Fundraising members continue to volunteer at the agency in different capacities and have done so for many years.  They are former members of our Board of Directors, helpline volunteers, children's program volunteers, administrative volunteers, and volunteers who help out with our holiday project.  This committee has wonderful commitment, dedication, and passion towards helping women and their children as they begin their new life, self-sufficient and free from domestic violence.
