Hands of a Friend (Genesis House)
|
The local Genesis House shelter is run by Hands of a Friend, and is partially funded with proceeds from DaZee’s consignment shops. Serving as a “safe haven” for female victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, Genesis House has provided over 35,000 bed units since its opening in January 2007. The shelter currently has 24 beds, at an expense of approximately $40 each day. Victims range in age from newborns to 87 years old, and may stay in shelters for up to 24 months.

Hands of a Friend Foundation and Genesis House Shelter operate as a 501(c)3 Qualifying Charitable Organization (QCO is 20436). Because Hands of a Friend is a faith-based agency, they accept no County, State or Federal funding.
