Our shelter offers a caring and comfortable refuge where women and children can feel safe, find support, and use goal-setting techniques to plan for the future. Basic assistance is offered for such needs as medicines, food, clothing, baby supplies and emergency transportation.

Our staff and trained volunteers are available for both confidential telephone and in-person supportive counseling sessions. Feelings about being abused are discussed and self-esteem issues are addressed by counselors who respect and understand the dynamics of violent relationships.
