ATV's Story
JANUARY 1982
Started by Roxie Ellis and Pam Higgins, the agency began as the Alternatives for Battered Women. It grew up out of the Loveland Interfaith Task Force made up of nine local churches, and was organized by a handful of people who saw the need for a support group for battered women in the City of Loveland. During the first year of being open, ten families were served escaping violence. The first board meeting was on January 13, 1982.
