We operate emergency and transitional shelters to help those who are experiencing family or domestic violence.
Family or domestic violence involves physical and emotional abuse by one person against another in a home or family environment. It can affect individuals and families of every economic status, race, religion, age and culture, and can result in severe injury and trauma.
