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 is celebrating our 25th year of continuing to provide this critical service to our mountain communities.
