Genesis Women’s Shelter

OUR MISSION
To provide safety, shelter, and support for women who have experienced domestic violence, and to raise awareness regarding its cause, prevalence, and impact.

We are looking to create a societal shift in how people think about domestic violence. In order for that to happen, we need everyone to share the same message that there is help and there is hope.

It will take all facets of society going in the same direction to invoke a real change. For every woman in an abusive situation, there is help and there is hope. Any woman, any age, any race, any religion, anywhere can be affected. But it does not define who they are.
