The Annual Board meeting and Volunteer Appreciation Dinner, is held each November at the Kenai Visitor and Cultural Center.
We thank all those that joined us on November 14th, 2025 and congratulations to Ryan Green for winning the two tickets to Hawaii in our raffle.

LeeShore’s Safe Harbor Award recognizes a person who has provided outstanding services, and guidance and has been dedicated to the cause of ending the cycle of domestic violence and sexual assault. This year we recognize someone who has been committed to serving others for years, Jill Hardee.

LeeShore’s Anchor Award was presented to Kenai Aviation in recognition of an outstanding partnership with our agency to help survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault get to safety. They were unable to attend to receive in person.

The Polaris Lifetime Achievement Award is given to an outstanding volunteer in recognition of their professionalism and commitment to improving the lives of those less fortunate. This year’s award goes to Adam Barrett, who is always willing and eager to lend a hand and strong back back when needed. He was unable to receive it personally, so his father Kevin Barrett received it on his behalf.

LeeShore’s Mt. Redoubt Award recipient was nominated by fellow staff for displaying compassion and competence, demonstrating ‘grace under fire’. The recipient of this award is Nicki McTrusty, the Shelter Manager.

Thank you to Justin and Jessie Ruffridge for being our guest speakers for the evening, and willing to answer questions.
