The Support Center has been providing these services and more since 1978, over the years we have been able to get some funding through the state and federal grants that are available, though they have strict spending guidelines, and we rely on fundraising opportunities to assist with the cost of some services that our grants cannot cover. We rely on our fundraising opportunities such as:

Shamrocks -4- Safety - March
Wine Women & Purses - October
Direct monetary donations - All year
In-kind donations - All year

These fundraising opportunities help us get some extra funding to continue supporting the important work we do for those in our community who need it most. Our Mission:
The Support Center is comprised of people dealing with the concerns of battered individuals, sexual assault, and general crime victims and their families. We oppose the use of violence as a means of control over others. We support equality in relationships and the concept of helping people assume power over their own lives. Our Vision:

We would like to extend a sincere thank you to the anonymous individual who generously donated their time, labor, and resources to improve the landscaping around our main office. 🙏🙌

Their hard work included removing garbage, clearing weeds and old trees, and planting beautiful flowers and vegetables in our flower beds. The effort, dedication, and personal expense that went into this project did not go unnoticed.

The transformation has made a tremendous difference, and the grounds look absolutely wonderful. Your kindness and willingness to give back to our organization are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for helping make our office a more welcoming and beautiful place for everyone. Your generosity and hard work are truly valued! 🌷🌻🥕🌿

Change starts with us. 💙

This Sexual Assault Awareness Month, we’re reminded that healing often begins with one powerful act: believing survivors. When survivors are met with support instead of blame, compassion instead of doubt, we help create pathways to healing and justice.

The statistics in these images are a call to action, but they are also a reminder that we can do better. Every time we listen, support, advocate, and speak up, we help change the culture that allows survivors to be silenced.

Be the person who believes.
Be the person who listens.
Be the person who stands with survivors.

Together, we can build a community where survivors are met with dignity, support, and hope. Start by believing, because your response can make all the difference.
