Spring has sprung, and we're ready to sizzle! Our shelter received a new grill, perfect for sunny days and outdoor gatherings. This season brings new opportunities for connection, health and healing. Pam, our chef, is excited about creating lasting memories with our families!
Navigating the challenges of adolescence is tough enough, but for teens living in a domestic violence shelter, the difficulties are magnified.
We are thankful that our community members step up to help us create as sense of normalcy with something as small as an Easter basket.

What an exciting day...we were able to teach "Empower Me!" in person to a group of kindergarteners. First time since 2019. They loved learning all the safety rules from Jessie! #empowerme#safetyfirst
