Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) was launched nationwide in October 1987 as a way to connect and unite individuals and organizations working on domestic violence issues while raising awareness for those issues.

 

Since 1980, The Lighthouse has supported domestic violence victims and survivors, held abusers accountable, and assisted in legislation to further those goals. In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, please support our work by donating to The Lighthouse today.

Thank you for standing with us in the fight against domestic violence!

LEP/Deaf/Hard of Hearing Services are available to those faced with language barriers by promoting access to communication.

 

You can call us year round and around the clock.  Someone is always available to take your call.  Due to our limited space, we ask that you call to have a telephone assessment to ensure that you are appropriate for our services.  If space is available, we can only hold your space for 24 hours.  If time exceeds 24 hours, you will need to call to ensure that the space is still available. We can also offer referrals to other shelters and programs.
