What We Do

The needs of survivors and shelter staff are always changing and so we remain flexible and ready to provide all we can for them. Below are some of our committees and descriptions of what we provide to support the needs of survivors living at the shelter. Our Auxiliary is currently the sole provider of groceries for survivors and their children living at the shelter. We are able to provide items and support through fundraising.
