Hope's Safe Haven

Hope's Safe Haven Our Advocates are here to help you move forward and to live a life free from violence.

Hope's Safe Haven has an emergency shelter as well as a 24/7 crisis hotline to aid victims of domestic and sexual violence in their efforts to reclaim their lives. Polk County House of Hope is an emergency shelter for victims of domestic and sexual violence. Our outreach team is in place to provide services and support to individuals and families who may not necessarily require shelter but are in

need of a helping hand, or support system, while navigating the crisis and trauma DV/SV can bring into our lives unexpectedly. We also have a thrift store named "Hopes Closet", we use the donations to provide clothing and household items to the families we serve within the shelter & the community. Hopes Closet accepts donations daily and is open to the public six days a week. House of Hope also hosts a few support groups weekly, call the Main Office for more details on how you can get involved with support group or Volunteer with our organization!

Tito is missing, He is solid Grey with a bobtail. I have attached some images that may help identify him. We found him as a kitten back in 2019 and he has been an incredible emotional support for folks that come through our doors since then. We are desperate to find him, if you know anything please call 417-777-3229 or 417-399-6744.

Hope's Safe Haven participated in the 2026 Denim Day by wearing denim, an international campaign to protest victim-blaming in sexual assault cases and support survivors.

Denim Day 2026 is observed on Wednesday, April 29, 2026. It is a global campaign held during Sexual Assault Awareness Month where people wear denim to protest victim-blaming and support survivors of sexual violence. The movement began after a 1992 Italian Supreme Court ruling overturned a r**e conviction because the victim wore tight jeans.

APRIL IS SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH

This month, we shine a light on sexual violence and its deep connection to domestic abuse. Many survivors we serve at Hope's Safe Haven have experienced both - and we want every survivor to know:
You are not alone, and healing is possible.
At Hope's Safe Haven, we provide:
⭐️Safe emergency shelter
⭐️Confidential counseling and support groups
⭐️Safety planning and legal advocacy
⭐️Trauma-informed care for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.

If you or someone you love is experiencing abuse - physical, emotional, sexual, or coercive control - help is available 24/7.

Call or Text our hotline: 417-399-6744

Wear teal (the color for sexual assault awareness) this month, share this post, or reach out if you need resources. Together, we can break the silence and build safer communities.

If someone tells you they were sexually assaulted or abused, here are three things you can say:
*I believe you.
*I'm here for you.
*How can I help?

Join me April 2026, for Day.
Most victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking, and child abuse do not report the crime. Many never tell anyone.

It's time to end the cycle of silence.

March is Women's History Month, we honor the strength, resilience, and courage of women everywhere—especially the ones rewriting their stories in the face of adversity.
Strength looks like:
💜 Asking for help
💜 Starting over
💜 Protecting your children
💜 Choosing healing
💜 Showing up, even on the hardest days
At Hope's Safe Haven, we see this strength every day. It’s in every survivor who walks through our doors and every step forward—no matter how small.
You are not alone. You are not forgotten. And your story is still being written.

Your generosity helps create moments of joy and healing for children and families here at the shelter and to our outreach families in need.
