… Who we serve:
In 2009, we served 331 women and 267 children, for a total of 598 people assisted in both our International Shelter and Main Shelter programs. The average length of stay for women was about 17 days, though many families stay longer depending on their needs. Our facilities serve a great diversity of women and children. Our families come from many different ethnic, socio-economic, and religious backgrounds.
We have served families from around the world, due to our close proximity to the Mayo Clinic. Domestic Violence can happen to anyone regardless of their educational background, financial status, race, or country of origin.
