I survived domestic violence, so I drove 20 minutes out of my way to donate items that were like new, used once for my wedding, and some expensive clothing. The man who accepted the items was incredibly rude and seemed to have a smoldering anger as if he were an abusive person. I handed him a bag and told him there were drinking glasses in the bag that had been used once. As I went to grab another box, I saw him toss something and then heard a sound like glass breaking. It's been almost a week now, and I still feel horrible about the entire experience. I shouldn't feel bad after making a donation of items that i could have sold myself. I don't understand why this man is working at a thrift store that raises money for domestic violence.

Don't worry girls I was living at this place to and I'm going to school to be a journalist and I will be doing a story on this place and a lot of others.

28 day stay & case management doesn't help you find a new place to go after that. So if you're a single (no kids) you're homeless or you go back to your abusive ex - what I'm doing because it's too cold to sleep outside. There was no hot water in the bathroom/shower, no hand soap & very little cleaning supplies. House Staff does do basic cleaning after hours. Counseling felt more like a police interview than trying to help me get over what my ex did.

I came here a few years ago in pressing circumstances. They are helpful to an extent. At the time I had come off of maternity leave and had no savings. I stayed at their transitional housing with the hope of saving to get my own place. But they require extensive meetings - group therapy, individual counseling, caseworker meetings, house meetings, drug tests, etc. And all of it takes place 9-5. If you're working, how can you attend all of this? Women were incentivized to drop shifts, miss school, etc., to attend all of these requirements. It made no sense. I couldn't keep up with all of this and had to leave. The various requirements are premised on the idea that the women they are serving aren't in a position to know for themselves what they need. It's paternalistic and seemingly undermines the purpose of offering help, which is to provide resources to women in difficult situations so they can stop a cycle of violence in their lives, provide for their children, and be self-sufficient. At the end of the day, this organization has underlying policies that are at cross-purposes with its own stated mission. I'm not impressed.
