This statement comes from NCADV (the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence):

The Body Shop and NCADV: It’s Been a Wonderful Six Years

The Body Shop Concludes its Stop Violence in the Home Campaign

Since 2003, The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV) has been extremely fortunate to work with The Body Shop on their Stop Violence in the Home campaign. This partnership has created awareness, raised critical program funds for NCADV, and built partnerships between local domestic violence programs and The Body Shop stores throughout the country. Those local partnerships have also raised funds for direct services and provided donated products for residents of emergency shelters. To date, almost $1.5 million dollars have been raised through their efforts.

NCADV’s partnership with The Body Shop’s Stop Violence in the Home campaign has become one of our most important joint ventures. The money generated by this campaign has enabled NCADV to enhance current programs such as the Face to Face Reconstructive Surgery Referral program, and to create new projects such as the Teacher Training Manual, an invaluable tool for education professionals working with young victims of domestic violence.

In July of 2009, The Body Shop will begin focusing on other critical issues within our global community. We give them our utmost support and best wishes in their efforts to help raise awareness and funds for the important missions of other causes.  

However, NCADV still needs your help!

Please take time between now and the end of July to visit your local Body Shop store or visit the Body Shop website to purchase the wonderful products created to benefit NCADV so we can continue to provide our valuable services. Click on each image to purchase or visit your local Body Shop.

These Body Shop products directly benefit NCADV:

as well as the Bag for Life and the SVITH (Stop Violence in the Home) Lip Care Stick Duo.

Thank you to The Body Shop for the amazing support you’ve given us over the years!  We truly appreciate your support in ending violence in the lives of women.
