When we speak about domestic violence and sexual assault, the truth of the matter is… it does not care if you are black or white, rich or poor, young or old.

When domestic violence and sexual assault rears its ugly head it does not discriminate.

Every person that has experienced domestic violence or sexual assault is a mother/father, sister/ brother, neighbor, or co-worker. These people are in every area of our everyday lives.

We serve 11 counties including Vanderburgh, Warrick, Posey, Gibson, Dubois, Spencer, Perry, Crawford, Orange, Pike, and Harrison.

All of our services are confidential and free of charge.

We would like to Thank the Pacer’s Foundation and Verizon Wireless”two for two” program for donating $4694.00 to go towards our playground for the children staying at our shelter.

Hundreds of women and children in Southwest Indiana who need a safe haven from the abuse of domestic violence will soon have a normal bit of everyday life restored while safe in a sheltered environment. The grant money was raised during Pacers regular-season games in 2007-2008. For every two-point field goal scored by the Pacers, Verizon Wireless donated $2 to the Pacers Foundation. “Having a playground provides a time for these women and their children to reconnect—to just talk and to be,” Perry said. “We serve women in 11 counties, from the heart of the city to remote rural areas of the state. Bringing some normalcy to their lives is important.”

We would like to Thank the Evansville Downtown Optimist Charitable Foundation for donating $600.00. This money will go towards the purchase of three bunk beds with 6 mattresses for the women and children staying in our shelter! This award was presented at the Optimist’s Annual Award Luncheon on December 17th.
