Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, AWAIC is taking several measures to keep our staff, the community, and the survivors staying in our emergency shelter as safe as possible.  We are taking the actions listed below to practice social distancing and minimize foot traffic into our facility:

-We are not accepting any walk-in clothing or toiletry donations at this time. Please use our Amazon Wishlist to purchase much-needed items for survivors in the shelter.
-All in-person support groups and staff meetings are cancelled.

Update January 2021: We are still not able to accept in-person clothing, toiletry, or item donations due to COVID-19 restrictions and ongoing construction at AWAIC. Please use AWAIC's Amazon Wishlist to purchase urgently needed clothing and hygiene items for the survivors in our emergency shelter during this time. We are keeping our website and Facebook page up-to-date about our ability to accept in-kind donations and hope to post more updates soon! 

Please email our Development team with any questions.

People often ask if the AWAIC emergency safe shelter tends be more crowded during specific times of year. Unfortunately domestic violence doesn't have a season. But YOU CAN make a difference all year long. Email alyssa_s@awaic.org to become a monthly donor.
