Notes from the Executive Director
October 1st, 2020
Emergency shelter and walk-in services are available for those in need. Walk-in advocacy services can be accessed Monday–Friday, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm or by calling our crisis line at 283-7257. For those needing emergency shelter you may call the crisis line or come to our facility for help and safety.
Due to COVID-19 we continue to take cautionary measures to ensure the health and safety of staff and residents. For that reason, all community support groups remain cancelled and our community Clothes Closet will remain closed until further notice.
Although we are not accepting drop off clothing or toiletry donations at this time, we appreciate health and safety items such as disinfecting wipes, hand sanitizer, bleach, paper towels and toilet paper. Other ways to donate include visiting our Amazon Wishlist or clicking the donation button at the bottom of this page.
We appreciate your continued support!
A personal word from the Executive Director regarding COVID 19
During these challenging times we’ve all had to adjust to a new way of interacting and conducting business, whether work or personal. For many in the nonprofit world this has meant reducing services or making changes that are hard to make, particularly if those changes affect or have consequences on the people served by that nonprofit.
As a victim service agency providing advocacy, support, and safe shelter to those suffering from domestic violence and sexual abuse, we are well aware of how critical it is to ensure victims have the support and help they need. Reports of increased domestic violence during the pandemic in some parts of the nation and state are not surprising but we also need to remember there are some communities where there has been a decrease in reporting – and that’s frightening.
Being isolated is bad enough, but when you’re isolated with the person who is physically or sexually abusing you and you can’t reach out or call for help the consequences can be devastating. Although The LeeShore Center has had to make some adjustments in how we conduct business during the pandemic we continue to be here for those in need of safe shelter and advocacy.
Our crisis line is available 24-hours a day, 7 days a week. If you are unsafe and need help, please call 283-7257.
Another way to donate:
Even though we are not accepting drop off donations at this time due to COVID-19, you may still donate to the agency online by visiting domesticshelters.org and viewing LeeShore’s wish list. Items can be shipped directly to LeeShore free of charge if the order is over $50.
Thank You to the Civilian Corps
The LeeShore Center would like to send a big thank you to the US Civilian Corps for their generous gift of laptop computers and tablets to our agency! Through their generosity, children residing at LeeShore’s emergency shelter facility will have the educational tools necessary for distance and virtual learning. Thanks also to the Department of Education and Early Development (DEED), the Office of the Governor and the Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (CDVSA) for assisting in this endeavor. We appreciate you all!
