Introducing a new, easy way to support our shelter!

We are so excited to announce the launch of our Walmart Wish List Registry!

Want to make a difference but aren't sure what to donate, or how? Our registry makes it easy! We've added some of our most-needed items, and you can purchase something directly from the list to help support survivors and families staying in the shelter.

Every item, big or small, helps us create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming space for those we serve.

Check out our registry here: https://www.walmart.com/registry/RR/a8e1016e-0407-4f42-a007-6720ac9a3175

Thank you for continuing to show up for survivors in our community!

Want to give back without signing up for a whole volunteer commitment? We've got the perfect spooky project for you!

For Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we are looking for a group, church, classroom, business, or community organization to help us make ghost lollipops with APC info attached to share throughout the community!

This is a great take-home volunteer opportunity for a group that wants to make a difference! Make them during a meeting, youth group, lunch break, family night, or just gather some friends and have a spooky craft night! This can be a great opportunity to get service hours for kids in philanthropy clubs!

Every little ghost helps us put resources into the hands of someone who may need them.

Interested in helping us make some ghosts? Send us a message, or reach out to McKayla at 704-481-0180.

Pssst... We have something spooky planned for October👻

Domestic Violence Awareness Month is just around the corner, and, this year, our theme is:

💜Love Shouldn't Be Scary!💜

While October may still feel a little ways away, we wanted to give you a sneak peek of what we have planned!

Throughout Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we'll be talking about what healthy love looks like, helping our community recognize signs of unhealthy and abusive relationships, and finding ways to show up for survivors in Cleveland County.

And we want YOU to be a part of it!

As October gets closer, be on the lookout for opportunities to help us spread the word, including sharing posts, making spooky informational ghost lollipops, inviting us to table, hosting a canned food drive, and more!

So consider this your official sneak peek...
👻 October is coming
💜 Love shouldn't be scary
🎃 And we're going to need our community to help us make some noise!

Stay tuned!👀
