Grant provides free transportation for domestic violence and sexual assault victims

  • Date: 06/22/2020

Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch has arranged a partnership with Uber and The Family Resource Center to help victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.

This grant will allow victims free transportation to a shelter or rape crisis center. This arrangement with Uber provides a system of “codes” which the user can enter in the WALLET app. These codes can also be used to help victims get to and from counseling and doctor’s appointments, to get groceries or to help essential staff do business related functions in the aid of these victims, including to and from work transportation, making hospital advocacy calls or picking up donations.
