Stand With Survivors.
Help Rebuild Lives.
Donate Now.
Every gift to Steps to Hope empowers individuals and families impacted by domestic and sexual violence to move from crisis toward healing and hope.
At Steps to Hope, we provide critical services—emergency shelter, counseling, legal advocacy, support groups and more—for those who have faced trauma.
Your donation makes this work possible and sustains the community-based care that changes lives. Here’s why your support matters:
Direct impact, right here at home.
Every dollar stays local, helping survivors in our region to rebuild safe, healthy lives.
Responding around the clock.
Our 24-hour hotline and emergency programs are staffed and ready — thanks to donor support.
Prevention + Empowerment.
Donations also fund education, self-defense, youth programs, and stronger community ties.
Trusted + Transparent.
We honor every gift with integrity and ensure resources reach the people who need them most.
