Support is needed for women and children of domestic violence

JC Freedom House shelter for women in crisis in Douglas County needs your help. The shelter provides a safe place to live, food, clothing, gas cards and other needed items to the women. It supports the homeless and those in need by providing food, clothing and other needed items. It supports community education by providing information about women in crisis.
