Christmas morning at shelter is always filled with excitement when the kids start waking up and coming out to the living room to see what Santa brought overnight.

Because of you, families in our shelter and transitional housing found a living room filled with gifts to open. We watched excited kids run back and forth across the living to show each other the gifts they received, and one mom shed tears over the new laptop she received (a much needed tool to move forward with school and work).

Thank you for making Christmas 2023 a morning filled with joy and safety for families who are working hard to live free from all forms of abuse.

Check out a few photos from the holidays this year – it was a wonderful year of celebration, hope, and safety!
