The Shelter receives $20,000 donation from United Way

The Shelter for Abused Women & Children recently received a generous donation of $20,000 from The United Way of Collier and the Keys. This contribution will be spent in support of two emergency shelter advocates and a residential manager.

“We are extremely grateful for these funds,” says Shelter CEO Linda Oberhaus. “The provision of emergency shelter is one of the cornerstones of The Shelter’s services, all of which are provided free of charge. Our residential mangers provide quality oversite to our emergency shelter advocates, all of whom are dedicated to assisting survivors as they transform their lives from violence and abuse to hope and freedom.”

As Collier County’s only certified domestic violence center, The Shelter is leading and collaborating with the community to prevent, protect and prevail over domestic violence and human trafficking. For more information, please visit www.naplesshelter.org

For the 11th consecutive year, The Shelter has received the coveted 4-star rating by Charity Navigator, America’s independent charity evaluator.
