Rural shelters play a critical role in supporting women and children fleeing domestic violence.

Recent funding cuts to rural women’s shelters are deeply concerning. When shelters are not adequately funded, women and children may have fewer safe places to go when they need safety most.

“With our sister shelters in rural communities receiving funding cuts, I worry about other women like Jessica Martel not having a place to go, because the shelters are not adequately funded,”

Shelters and community resources save lives.

The group presented JMMF with a $2,000 donation, and we are truly grateful. Every contribution helps us keep showing up for the people who need us most.
