Emergency Support Shelter

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month!

At Emergency Support Shelter, our doors are open to survivors in our community not just in October, but every single day. We are here to listen without judgment, provide support during crisis, help survivors navigate their options, and walk alongside them as they move toward safety and healing.

This month, we invite our community to stand with survivors. Believe them. Support them. Learn the signs of abuse. Start conversations. And remind those who may be struggling behind closed doors that help, hope, and healing are possible.

Together, we can open more doors to safety. 💜

💙 Thank you for making Give More 24 a success! 💙

From all of us at Emergency Support Shelter, thank you to everyone who donated, shared our posts, stopped by to see us, encouraged us, and helped spread the word yesterday.

Your support means so much to ESS and to the survivors and families we serve. Because of you, we can continue providing safety, shelter, advocacy, and hope to those who need it most.

We are so grateful for the generosity and heart of our community. Give More 24 reminded us once again that when we come together, we can make a tremendous difference right here at home.

Thank you for standing with ESS and helping keep our doors open.

We couldn’t do this work without you!

🎉🎂 Double the birthdays, double the celebration! 🎂🎉

Today, we had the pleasure of celebrating two amazing members of our team who happen to share the same birthday! We gathered over lunch to enjoy some cake, share a few laughs, and take a much-needed moment to connect outside of the everyday work.

We’re grateful for the dedication, compassion, and insight they bring to our team each day. 💙

Happy Birthday to you both! We hope your day is filled with all the joy you bring to those around you! 🥳🎈

🎳 A Little Team Time Goes a Long Way! ❤️

Our ESS team recently stepped away from the shelter for a little fun, laughter, and some mildly competitive bowling! 🎳

Our team works with individuals and families experiencing tremendous trauma and difficult circumstances every day. The work is meaningful, but it can also be emotionally heavy. That’s why taking time to step away, breathe, laugh, and simply enjoy one another’s company is so important.

We spent the afternoon cheering each other on, sharing snacks, laughing at our bowling skills (or lack thereof 😉), and enjoying a lighter atmosphere together.

We are incredibly grateful for this team and the compassion, dedication, and strength they bring to their work every single day.

Sometimes, taking care of others starts with taking a little time to take care of each other.

We’re proud of our ESS team! 🫶🎳
