How do we prevent violence in our community?
Shelter from the Storm is honored to receive funding through Oregon’s Sexual Assault Task Force & The Oregon Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence in order to do prevention work in our community.
We understand that prevention of violence in our community is a community wide effort, and we hope that you will join us in pursuit of our vision of a community driven to promote safety and empower everyone to be free from violence and the fear of violence.
