Many shelters across the country need money and a lot of it,

WID provides emergency shelter to abused women and their children.
For many women, leaving home is their first major step in breaking the cycle of abuse.
The 54-bed Shelter’s homelike setting creates a safe atmosphere so that clients feel
secure while they obtain legal and medical assistance, permanent housing, and employment
assistance. WID’s shelter offers group counseling and education to women and their children
in the following areas: domestic violence, parent effectiveness training, and financial
management. Residents of the shelter do not pay for housing, clothing, and non-perishable
foods. Male survivors of domestic violence are referred to an appropriate shelter specific
to the needs of men, while domestic violence related-services are offered to them at the
Jim and Jan Moran Family Center.
