Mission

The Crisis Center, Inc. was founded in 1979 and incorporated in 1981 with a mission to provide free and confidential services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.  The Crisis Center's mission is centered around helping community members who are in need find safety, security, and a life free from abuse and violence.

Your support to the Crisis Center, Inc. at Geary Community Match Day helps some of our most vulnerable community members - victims and survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault - all year long.  Your gift is matched, creating an even bigger impact that allows us to reach more people with our life-saving services. 

The Crisis Center's services are available 365/24/7, and all services are completely free.  Residents in our safe shelter can stay as long as needed while they work with our advocates to rebuild their lives after escaping abuse in their own homes.  All food, toiletries, and amenities are provided at no cost.  We truly rely on support from our community to make this possible!
