One of the other site locations will be held at the Redevelopment Community Room located at 314 11 Street in Richmond, Ca. The groups are free of charge to the Mothers and family members who were denied Victims of Crime Services.

In June 2003 M.A.S.K. was formed with two mothers, since that time we have connected with over 100 Mothers here in the city of Richmond.
In January 2005 Mothers Against Senseless Killings was awarded a grant by the Offices of Victims of Crime/Department of Justice to help our program expand.
