The Domestic Violence Shelter Inc

Hello and welcome to the Domestic Violence Shelter and Sexual Assault program through Richland Gives! Our mission is simple yet profound - we aim to end violence and provide a safe haven for those who have survived it. But to achieve this, we need your help.

Since 1978, our programs have offered support, resources, and shelter to survivors, helping them regain control of their lives. Your contribution helps us provide essential services such as temporary housing, legal assistance, and educational programs. It also helps us raise awareness about domestic violence and sexual assault, breaking the cycle of abuse and creating a safer world for everyone.

Put simply, you make peace possible. Imagine being the lifeline someone needs in their darkest hour. Imagine being the reason someone feels safe enough to sleep at night. Your donation could literally save a life, offering a glimmer of hope when all seems lost.

Donating is as easy as 1-2-3! Click on the 'Donate' button above, and choose your amount. Every penny counts, no matter how small. And remember, your donation is tax-deductible.

When a child enters the shelter a huge burden is lifted. They suddenly find themselves in a place where they no longer need to worry about their basic needs. Food, shelter, and safety, things that were once uncertain, are now guaranteed. This newfound security allows the child to focus on healing, growth, and simply being a kid again. The weight of the world is off their shoulders, replaced by the comforting blanket of safety and care provided by the shelter.

Shared from the heart of a child in shelter.
