This holiday season, I invite you to join us in giving the gift of hope.
In 2024, we expanded to a 36-bed shelter—and every single day, those beds are full. Women and children arrive with little more than the clothes on their backs, seeking safety, dignity, and a chance to rebuild.
But the funding that made these additional beds possible is coming to an end. Without community support, we cannot keep them open.
Your donation today will help ensure that every woman and child who comes to our door has a warm bed, a safe space, and the hope of a new beginning.
On behalf of all of us at Victoria and Friends Women’s Shelter, thank you for your compassion and generosity. Together, we can make this truly a Holiday of Hope.

Sue Taylor, Executive Director
‘Twas the night I found courage,
and all through the night,
I dreamed of a future that shimmered with light.
Each door that you open,
each kindness you give,
helps me and my kids find new ways to live.
Now holidays shimmer with peace I once missed,
with laughter and comfort at the top of the list.
Because of your caring,
my story can say:
Hope shines even brighter this holiday.
Donate quickly and safely below.
