Gatehouse Grapevine

I really dont understand the bad reviews. Felt the need to share my story and hope other women can benefit from this. Gatehouse was a life saving blessing for my 2 year old son and I. About 9 months ago I had to go to an emergency shelter due to domestic violence I was there for 2 months not knowing what I was going to do next. I happened to find Gatehouse online but was told by emergency shelter they could not referred me since it was a religious program, Decided to take a chance and referred MYSELF, they call me for an interview and approved my application days later. So I am a living witness that they do not just accept people from their sponsors. Is sad because they never once push any religion and can't understand why other shelters won't refer. The program can be a little overwhelming but then again they provide housing a Vehicle and daycare and lots lots of support. I was dealing with PTSD and they also provided counceling and therapy . I honestly cannot thank Gatehouse enough for the amazing work they all do and all the support I received when I mostly needed it.. NOTHING is completely free ocourse nothing in life is, they do teach you to work for it and be independent I was able to leave Gatehouse and support my Son and I without any government help. THANK YOU Gatehouse!

The Gatehouse is a remarkable program to help women in need! The program specializes in domestic violence, giving women the tools and support needed to empower themselves to be self sufficient and to become the best version of their God given talent! There are so many areas to volunteer; apartment set-up, the boutique, fund raising, transportation, you choose what interests you!

I have been volunteering for the past 4 years helping to set up apartments for the new families coming in to the program. It has been a wonderful experience working with a great team doing something that directly benefits the women and children. We are also very well supported by our volunteer co-ordinator who makes sure we have everything we need to set up the apartments the best way we can. I hope to carry on volunteering at the Gatehouse for many years to come!
