Women and Children's Crisis Shelter

WHERE HOPE BEGINS.

Welcome!

We believe that everyone has the right to a violence-free environment; that violence, be it physical, actual or threatened, emotional or psychological, has no place in healthy relationships. We are dedicated to helping the victims at whatever stage they find themselves.

Women’s & Children’s Crisis Shelter is committed to providing safety, shelter, and hope to victims of domestic violence.

Registered walkers will receive a commemorative T-Shirt, medals for the first 650 walkers, refreshments, entertainment, and raffle tickets to win prizes.
