We understand.
The Darrell Lee Jenkins Resource Center in Springfield, MA, was founded by Juanita Batchelor, Darrell's mother. We offer advocacy for those impacted by gun violence, and we work with other local organizations to build healthy communities. We insist that government leaders be held accountable, and we demand supports for neighborhoods most affected by gun violence.
Together we can make Springfield a just place, where families of gun violence victims get some amount of closure.
Together we can make Springfield a safe place, where young people feel respected, loved, and excited for life.
We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Your financial support is fully tax-deductible, and gratefully appreciated.
