Assisting Families,
Refugees and Women
Who Are Fleeing Violence

Since 1982, the Red Door Family Shelter has provided emergency shelter and support for women and children affected by domestic abuse, families experiencing a housing crisis, and refugee claimants with nowhere else to turn.

Breaking the Cycle of Homelessness

A dedicated and caring staff team addresses the particular needs of families in crisis. The services provided reduce the impact of homelessness by providing safe and supportive shelter to hundreds of families each year. We help keep families together by providing services for the whole family, helping them to establish a stable life beyond the shelter.

Real Stories From Families We've Helped

Red Door Shelter provided the sanctuary that I desperately needed to
get back control over my life and to begin to build a healthy future for
my son and daughter.

The resources that they connected us with have been invaluable – finding
housing, therapy support, daycare for my children, and even the food bank
when we need it. It’s really like we’re still part of that family, knowing that
our outreach worker is there for us anytime we need her.

With that kind of support behind you, there’s no way you can’t succeed.

The Wishing Tree

Not sure what the children at Red Door Family Shelter would like this holiday season? We’ve got you covered with The Wishing Tree! 🎄

Avoid the four stages of gift-giving—“I think they’ll like this!” “I think they’ll like this?!” “Will they like this?” “I hope they like this.”—and remove all the guesswork.

Each child staying in our shelter has written their wish, and we’ve added these heartfelt notes to our Wishing Tree. By choosing a wish to grant, you’ll make holiday dreams come true while keeping your gift-giving stress-free. 🌟
