Today and every day, we're grateful for you! Thanks to you, many survivors and their families are spending this holiday season in the safe harbor of our shelter, or in new apartments of their own. Still more are healing in counseling, or receiving support from court advocacy. Thank you for giving the gifts of safe harbor, healing, and hope!

Stay tuned — next week, on Giving Tuesday, we will share our clients' words of gratitude for the difference Doorways has made in their lives, thanks to your support. We appreciate you!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We wish a happy and healthy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate!

Special thanks to our friends at St. Mary's Episcopal Church for donating 30 Thanksgiving Dinner Bags and gift cards for families at Doorways! We're grateful for your support year after year!
