About Turning Pointe Survivor Advocacy Center
Providing shelter and services for victims of domestic violence (DV) including women, children, men and family pets since 2000
With 56 beds Turning Pointe operates one of the largest domestic violence shelters in the state. Our shelter was built in 2008 and is unique in that we allow clients to bring their pets to the shelter. This is especially important because victims of domestic violence often stay in an abusive home because they are not willing to leave their pets with the abuser.

We make a difference in the lives of people going through a very traumatic time.
TURNING POINTE’S
ADOPT-A-ROOM PROGRAM
Be a part of making our shelter rooms warm and welcoming for the women, men and children that come to us seeking safety.
Families often times come to us with nothing but the clothes they are wearing. When they finally are able to enter their room, we want them to feel welcomed and cared for.
Contact Courtney@turningpointe.org for more information on how YOU can support our Shelter.

This summer, we were planning a family art night to offer families impacted by domestic and sexual violence an opportunity to have fun, connect, and create together. We provided some food and a variety of art projects for youth and families. One of the art projects that families could participate in was this Cards by Survivors project. If survivors wanted to, they could create a piece of art and submit it to be used for this project. Then, several submissions were chosen to be made into cards that we could sell to donors in the community.

Advocacy. Awareness. Education.
📢 Calling All Kind Hearts! 📢 Often, survivors come into emergency shelter with only the clothes they’re wearing as there wasn’t a safe opportunity to bring anything more. In some instances, survivors come to us directly from the hospital after a traumatic physical event. New, clean, soft clothing offers comfort, especially if they have endured injuries. We need your help with some specific items for adults and youth: ▪️ Soft Pajama Pants ▪️ Plain T-shirts ▪️ Underwear ▪️ Bras and Sports Bras ▪️ Socks ▪️ Sweatpants and Hoodies We cannot accept any other clothing at this time. Please be sure items are new with tags. Thank you for caring for our most vulnerable community members by offering the comfort of something warm and soft to wear while they heal.

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to Rand, Sue, and Andrea for their time and generosity last weekend. Rand and Sue drove 2 hours one way to deliver furniture, donated by Andrea, to a survivor who had recently moved into a new place through our housing program. Donations like this not only help furnish spaces but also bring warmth and a sense of home to families who are starting a new chapter. Thank you!
#MissionMonday "We received a large shipment of shelter supplies, and a client passed by as we were bringing them in. I stopped to greet her and asked how her day was going. She smiled and said her day was great because I took the time to acknowledge and simply ask how she was. She added that this was one of the many reasons she was grateful to be at our shelter." - Chelsey, Program Coordinator
#MissionMonday "A client locked her keys in her car with her toddler inside. She ran to the front door in a panic. We ran out to the car and calmly reassured her that we would get someone to come open it right away. As I spoke with the client, my coworker called Olympic Lock and Key and within minutes they arrived and had the door open. The client was so relieved and thankful for all the help we gave." - Billy, Shelter Support Assistant
#SpotlightSaturday We are pleased to have Billy as our Shelter Support Assistant. His dog Pepper is a joy to have around the office too! 😊
