Our Campaigns

Covered with Care Campaign Help Us Reach Our Goal

Providing essential items, emergency support, and compassionate care to women and children impacted by domestic violence throughout Northwest Indiana. Join Us in providing safe stays for survivors in crisis.

No woman or child should have to go without the basic essentials needed for dignity, comfort, and care.


The Covered with Care Program is a faith-centered outreach initiative of A Better Way Ministry Inc., created to support women and children impacted by domestic violence throughout Northwest Indiana.


This program meets urgent, real-life needs during moments of crisisβ€”when individuals are transitioning to safety and often have very few personal belongings. Through Covered with Care, we provide essential items such as new undergarments, personal care products, and emergency support including temporary lodging assistance when available.


Many women arrive in shelters with their children in tow, leaving quickly for safety. Because of this, there is a critical need for both women’s and children’s essentials to help restore dignity and provide comfort during a difficult time.


Your support helps us extend compassion in practical ways, ensuring that no woman or child is left without the basic essentials they need to feel cared for and supported.


Together, we are not just giving itemsβ€”we are restoring dignity, strengthening hope, and reminding those we serve:


You are seen. You are valued. You are not alone.


β€œBear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.”  

Galatians 6:2 KJV

Covered With Care

The Panty Project

The Panty Project is a community outreach initiative of A Better Way Ministry Inc., providing new undergarments and personal care essentials to women and children in domestic violence shelters throughout Northwest Indiana.

WHAT THIS IS

What is the Panty Project?

The Panty Project was created to meet a real and often overlooked need.

Many women and children enter domestic violence shelters with very few personal belongings, often leaving quickly for safety. Access to basic undergarments and personal care items is limited, yet these essentials are critical for daily living, hygiene, and emotional well-being.

This initiative ensures that those we serve receive new, clean, and dignified essentials during a vulnerable time.

πŸ’œ

WHY IT MATTERS

Why This Matters

Something as simple as new undergarments can make a powerful difference.

These items help:

  • Restore dignity and self-respect
  • Provide comfort during difficult transitions
  • Support hygiene and overall well-being
  • Offer a sense of normalcy in uncertain moments
  • Remind women and children that they are not alone

Sometimes, the smallest items carry the greatest impact.

🧺

WHAT WE ARE COLLECTING

We Are Collecting New:

  • Panties (all sizes for women, girls, and children)
  • Bras and bralettes
  • Personal hygiene items

All items must be new and unused to ensure health, safety, and dignity.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§

IMPORTANT NOTE

Many women arrive at shelters with their children in tow.

Because of this, there is a critical need for children’s sizes, ensuring that both mothers and their children receive the care and essentials they need.

Life After Abuse Campaign 

Sip and Paint (Alcohol-Free)

In Shelter Sip and Paint


Our version of sip and paint would be held on site at local area Domestic Shelters where the survivors can be free and at ease. No alcohol will be served The purpose of Sip & Paint is to bring to survivors a piece of normalcy and fun and a chance to express themselves creatively through art sharing their individual story about what has happened to them and how they currently feel within themselves. We believe that this creative fun will help survivors to work through past experiences and present feelings. We bring fun and freedom to survivors at Local Domestic Violence Shelters where participants can safely, freely and creatively express themselves with other Survivors of Domestic Abuse.

Life After Abuse PSA!


Despite its prevalence, there are still many people today who don’t want to admit domestic violence exists or even talk about it. I Dare To Care Campaign provides an opportunity for friends, families and communities to discuss the context in which domestic violence occurs. 

Domestic violence is not limited to just intimate partner victims. Domestic Violence affects everyone connected to the victim and even the families of the abuser!

We understand the complexities of these family dynamics and we approach all involved with the love and care given us by our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.

IN PURPLE CAMPAIGN

Taking back their control and embracing the possibilities of an abuse free future.

As we all know that despite its prevalence, there are still many people today who who admit domestic violence is a problem that we need to be concerned about. Some don’t even want to talk about it. We hope through our β€œIN PURPLE CAMPAIGN” we can start conversations that can Help End The Silence of Family Violence. 

This Campaign is designed specifically for Sheltered and Unsheltered Abuse Survivors To celebrate their freedom from Abuse. 

Our Mission: Encouragement. To help Survivors of Domestic/Family Violence and Trauma Empower themselves and walk in their GOD ordained freedom.
