Ways to Help

Help us lift and empower the women and children of Dottie’s House

 

Dottie’s House Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Your tax-deductible donations are to provide survivors of domestic violence with the tools, guidance, and support to achieve financial and emotional independence. Ninety-five cents of every dollar goes directly toward the mission.

 
 

Every dollar helps

Your support fuels our comprehensive program. In addition to providing safe residency, your donations help fund our counseling, domestic violence groups, and therapeutic art classes for the children. We are also able to assist with resume writing, interviewing skills, help with scholarship applications, and so much more.

Want to donate furniture, clothing or household items?

We ensure all survivors reside in fully furnished apartments equipped with anything they need to restart their lives. We count on you, our supporters, to help make this happen. However, space (and storage) is limited so we ask that you take photos and measurements of the items and send them directly to our staff for review. We will contact you back as soon as possible.

We are not currently accepting clothing, shoes, toys, books, or any baby items.
