We are honored to share that LAWS has been named Best Nonprofit, and The Resourceful Woman Thrift Store as Best Thrift Store and a finalist in the best women’s clothing and best accessories category in the Loudoun Times Mirror 2025 Best of Loudoun competition!

This recognition means the world to our team—and to the survivors we serve. It’s a powerful reminder that our community stands united against domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, stalking and child abuse and supports the life-saving work we do every day.

Because of your support in the last year:

1. We answered more than 1,100 crisis hotline calls, providing immediate help and hope.

2. We delivered legal and advocacy services to over 1,000 survivors, helping them navigate court systems and secure safety.

3. We provided emergency shelter to 179 adults and children, offering refuge and stability in their darkest moments.

4. We reached thousands of youth and community members through prevention education, working to stop violence before it starts.

At The Resourceful Woman, our award-winning thrift store, every donation and every purchase fueled these efforts—proving that shopping with purpose truly makes a difference.

From all of us at LAWS: thank you. Thank you for voting. Thank you for caring. And thank you for standing with survivors.

We are proud to serve Loudoun—and even prouder to be chosen by you.
