Beyond direct giving, there are ways community partners power the shelter year-round. Each one keeps services running and survivors supported. Volunteering directly at the shelter is not available for safety reasons, but there are several meaningful ways to help.
Make a one-time or monthly recurring gift. Every dollar tracked, receipted automatically, and 90 cents goes directly to the victims and survivors we serve.

Partner with usHope Harbour presents our annual fundraiser, Celebration of Hope. Join us for an evening that fills the room, and the year, with support for the victims and survivors we serve.
Your sponsorship will help save the lives of individual men, women, and children who are fleeing domestic violence and have turned to Hope Harbour for help. Your funds will provide emergency shelter and support services to victims of domestic violence in our community. Your sponsorship will help move a victim and their children from a life of violence to one of hope and opportunity.
Sponsor the GalaThe wishlist is Hope Harbour's most direct in-kind giving path. The shelter needs specific items every week: toiletries, hygiene supplies, school supplies for children's program kids, basic clothing for families arriving with nothing, household essentials for survivors moving into rapid rehousing.
The Walmart registry is updated regularly so what you ship is what the shelter needs right now. Items ship directly. No coordination call required. Receipts go to you for tax purposes.
Larger in-kind donations (furniture, professional services, holiday gift drives) are coordinated separately. Contact us to set those up.
Donation drop-off: Donations are picked up every Tuesday at Rosehill Baptist Church on Hamilton Road at 8:30 AM and again at 1:00 PM. A staff member will be in the parking lot to collect the donated items.
For the safety and confidentiality of residents, the shelter does not accept general public volunteers. The shelter address is not published and residents are often actively avoiding people who would harm them. Specialized volunteer roles (event volunteers, professional pro-bono services, legal advocacy support) are coordinated through staff. Contact us to discuss specific skills you want to contribute.
Corporate sponsorships range from event-specific (Gala sponsorship tiers) to year-round partnership packages (employee giving programs, cause-marketing campaigns, recurring corporate gifts). Tiers and benefits scale with the size of partnership. Contact us to start a conversation about what fits your organization.
Yes. Workplace giving campaigns are welcome and we can provide materials, talking points, and presentation support. Some workplaces run annual drives. Others do event-specific campaigns around DV Awareness Month in October. We adapt to what works for your culture.
Community-hosted fundraisers (school events, church drives, business-led campaigns) are welcome and supported. We provide branded materials, talking points, and follow-up coordination. Reach out before announcing publicly so we can support the event well.
Wishlist items ship to a coordination point and get distributed to the shelter and outreach families from there. The shelter address is never used for shipping addresses. Distribution is tracked so items reach families efficiently.
Drop-off donations are coordinated separately from the wishlist to protect the shelter location. Contact us first to schedule a drop-off at a coordination point. Donations of unrequested items can sometimes create more work than help, so coordination ahead is important.
Whether it is a one-time gift, a corporate partnership, a wishlist order, or a Gala sponsorship, you are making the shelter and the services keep going.
