Contributions and Donations

Contributions are accepted in a wide variety of ways.

Victims often leave everything all personal items behind when fleeing from a violent situations. Due to limited storage capacity, our agency must limit the intake of items, our shelter coordinator is the best person to contact when you have items available to give. We appreciate those businesses who offer discounts, cash contributions, and donations of items for our clients.
