Donations
Since 1982, the Center has been a vital
resource for adults and children in abusive situations. One family
at a time, we are committed to building healthier communities and
providing programs of excellence. Our services help victims shift
from hopelessness to hopefulness. To do this, we need your support.
While it costs $22,000 per week to keep our doors open, state and
federal funding provides less than 45% of the finances needed to
provide services. Your donation will help to ensure the continuation
of the programming and services we provide to individuals in our
communities.
