Trained staff and
volunteers provide a caring ear to listen for issues including but not
limited to: domestic abuse and safety planning, suicide counseling, and
referrals to local resources for basic needs (food, clothing, rent and
utility assistance).
Safe Pets
Pets are family. Volunteer foster homes or local
boarding facilities are available for short term stays for pets to help
keep families together. Many people will not leave an abusive situation
for fear that their pets may be injured or killed to get back at them. The
Crisis Center keeps all the family members safe.
Volunteer Program
With a very small staff and limited
financial resources, volunteers are critical to keeping the Crisis Center
running and for providing quality, caring services to the shelter
residents and hotline callers. Our volunteers include our Board of
Directors, office support, fundraisers, and pet foster care.
