Monetary Donations
Your gift will make a big difference for the families who depend on Nelson House’s services!
When you give to Nelson House you are giving hope today by investing in the future of women and children who are ready to re-build their lives free of violence.
BECOME A MONTHLY DONOR
One of the most powerful ways you can make a difference is by becoming a monthly donor. Monthly donations help provide a steady and reliable funding source, and that allows us to better plan for the expenses of our programs. The monthly gifts allow us to effectively support vulnerable women and children today and every day.

Why Give?
Please donate today and help us save lives and build safe new futures!
We need your help to continue supporting women & children escaping violence & abuse. Every dollar counts when a woman flees violence and abuse, and most leave with only the clothes on their backs. At Nelson House women and children find a safe haven where they can begin, step by step, to rebuild their lives.
Your financial contributions go directly to providing essential, life-saving programs and services for the women and children who reside at Nelson House, as well as the more than 100 families in our community outreach program, like families who have moved out but continue to access counseling supports and our on-site food bank, to stretch their insufficient grocery budgets, as well as women who live in the community and are trying to leave their abusers safely, and more.
We are greatly dependent on the generosity of our community supporters, because without you, we are otherwise unable to provide our families with much-needed programs and services, including donated items that help them rebuild their lives.
Sponsor a Room
Become a yearly sponsor of one of the 11 rooms at the shelter. For $3,000 to $10,000 a year (by room size), you will support every family that stays in the space (average three per year) with welcome packages and all necessary items.
