Family Renewal Shelter - About FRS

Family Renewal Shelter offers a wide variety of services, some of them quite unique:

• National 24-hour domestic violence crisis line 1-888-550-3915
• Case Management and legal referrals provided to help families with legal issues, housing, educational and employment searches, relocation and change of identity.
• Emergency advocacy and transportation from hospitals, police stations, churches, motels and neighbors, as well as transportation for residents scheduled medical, legal and personal appointments.
• On-site animal kennel allows families to not have to abandon their beloved family pets. There are also shelter pets that provide an informal 'pet therapy' that has proven very successful.
• Donated cars in good condition and when available are given to residents who come to the shelter without transportation. This practical service increases the likelihood that a woman will be able to remain independent and violent free.
