Every day, people donate clothing, furniture, household items, and shop at the Peace Place Thrift Store without always realizing the impact those donations truly have. 💜

For many women and children fleeing domestic violence, arriving at our emergency shelter means arriving with almost nothing — sometimes just a suitcase, a few belongings, and the hope for a safer future.

That is where your donations and purchases begin to make a difference.

All proceeds from the Peace Place Thrift Store directly support our emergency domestic violence shelter program and the services that help survivors rebuild their lives. Your support helps provide not only safety, a warm bed, meals, clothing, and school supplies, but also legal advocacy, child and teen programs, teen dating violence prevention and support services, support groups, crisis services, community outreach, and compassionate support every step of the healing journey.

Your donations and purchases also help us continue serving survivors throughout our community who need advocacy, resources, education, and support beyond the shelter walls.

What may feel like a simple donation or small purchase can help a woman and her children begin again — and remind survivors throughout our community that they are not alone.

Your donation. Their new beginning.

SHOP. DONATE. EMPOWER.

: As we begin a new month, this quote is a reminder that growth isn't something we need to prove to anyone.

Too often, we focus on showing others our progress instead of giving ourselves the time, patience, and care needed to truly flourish. Growth happens when we nurture what matters, celebrate small victories, and allow ourselves room to bloom.

This week, focus on tending your own garden. 🌼

No matter where you are in your journey, healing and hope are possible—and support is always available.

As May, Mental Health Awareness Month, comes to a close, we want to continue the conversation about the connection between mental health and domestic violence. 💚

Whether you are looking for ways to support a survivor of domestic violence or you are a survivor yourself, remember that emotional healing, mental wellness, and rebuilding a sense of peace are all essential parts of the healing journey.

Read our latest blog post to learn 5 meaningful ways to support survivors and their mental health while helping create a more compassionate and understanding community.

Healing takes time, and no one should have to go through it alone.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to encourage open conversations about emotional well-being, reduce stigma, and remember that mental health matters just as much as physical health. It’s...

💜 It’s More Than a Store 💜

When reaching out to us, sometimes people ask for their donations to go “to the shelter instead of the thrift store” because they don’t realize they're connected.

The truth is: our thrift store helps make the shelter possible!

All profits from donated items directly support our emergency shelter program for women and children fleeing domestic violence. Your donations become meals, safe shelter, advocacy, support services, and hope for survivors rebuilding their lives.

When you donate, shop, or share our store with others, you are helping change lives.

It’s more than a store — it’s part of the mission. 💜

💚 Monday Motivation 💚

Does your inner voice sound like this?

“I’m useless.”
“I’ll never be good enough.”
“I can’t do anything right.”
“I’ll never get through this.”

Negative self-talk can become so familiar that we stop noticing how deeply it affects us. This Mental Health Awareness Month, remember that your thoughts are not always telling you the truth.

You are not defined by your hardest days, your mistakes, or the pain you’ve experienced. Healing starts with learning to speak to yourself with patience, grace, and compassion.

This week, try replacing one harsh thought with one gentle reminder:

“I'm still growing.”
“I deserve kindness too.”
“I have made it through difficult days before.”

Healing often begins with these small moments — choosing grace over guilt and encouragement over doubt.

The way you talk to yourself matters more than you realize.

We are incredibly grateful to the Walton Barrow Board of Realtors for awarding Peace Place a $500 community grant in support of the work we do for survivors of domestic violence. 💜

These types of contributions make a meaningful difference for the women and children we serve every day through emergency shelter, advocacy, and supportive services. We are honored to be recognized alongside other nonprofits working to strengthen our community.

@, thank you for investing in local organizations and for helping create safer, more hopeful futures for survivors in our area. Your generosity and community spirit are deeply appreciated.

Comfort can look like something as simple as a soft pillow, clean sheets, and knowing someone cared enough to give. 💜

We want to extend a very special thank you to The Parlor Bible Study Group from Maysville, Georgia, for their generous donation of pillows and bedsheets for our emergency domestic violence shelter. These items will help create a warm, restful, and welcoming space for survivors and their children during some of the hardest moments of their lives.

Special recognition goes to Sherry Mitchell and Denise Craymer, whose leadership and compassion helped make this collection possible. The kindness and care poured into this effort will reach far beyond what can be seen.

Thank you for helping us provide not just shelter, but comfort, dignity, and a place that feels a little more like home.
