Mountain Peace Shelter would like to wish you and your family peace in 2010!

 The times being what they are, our shelter is full - full of brave women, children and pets who have come to us seeking a safe place to lay their heads, and open hearts to start their lives again - free from violence and yearning peace.

Thanks to your caring and financial support, the Peace Shelter has continued to provide this critical service to our mountain communities for over 23 years.

If you or your family wish to make a difference, and do not need more "things" in your home, please consider donating to the Peace Shelter in honor of those you love.
