Help Our Cause
Your support and contributions help reduce the barriers that victims of domestic violence face; supporting and empowering them to overcome each hurdle that comes their way. We all deserve to be safe at home. Each and every contribution is greatly appreciated and truly makes a difference in the lives of those we serve.
Our Story
Founded in 1999, Shepherd's House started as a small community initiative. Our founders recognized the urgent need for resources to assist victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Shepherd's House began with victim advocacy and later through a lot of hard work, community support and various funding sources we were able to finally add emergency shelter services. We strive to provide essential resources and support to help individuals reclaim their lives and find safety.
