The new domestic violence shelter officially opened in August 2016.
It is not too late to help by making a donation. Please let us know your donation is for the new shelter.
We also have a need for soft/collapsible toy boxes, small area rugs, and cleaning supplies for the new shelter, paper towels, laundry detergent, mops, brooms, dust pans, disinfectant spray, and bathroom and kitchen cleaners.
Thank you for helping our shelter residents feel welcomed, loved, and uplifted as they pursue a safer, healthier future for themselves and their children. Please call the Empowerhouse office at 540-373-9372 to make arrangements for dropping off shelter items.
