Willow Society

Yearly, more than 1,000 women and children quietly step into our small lobby. They come as victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and homelessness. They've done the hardest part - escaping a crisis to seek help. We can help facilitate the rest of their journey to self-reliance and empowerment.

For over three decades, we have provided abused and homeless women, women with children, and their pets with safe shelter and life-changing services.

Our work is not done yet. At The Shade Tree, we promote self-reliance for every woman and child. We provide access to food, clothing, life essentials, and individualized case management. Your contributions help our organization in our efforts to raise awareness of domestic violence in our community, helping our clients heal from trauma and guiding them to a path of self-sufficiency.

The need for unrestricted funds has become urgent. Organizations nationwide have been experiencing a decline in individual donations and federal funding. With your recurring donation, The Shade Tree can continue to serve survivors, expand programming, and provide transitional after-care.

Our ambassador emblem is the willow tree because it symbolizes the capability to withstand hardship, loss, and difficult emotions. Willow trees are known as survivors and a symbol of rebirth. Through our Willow Society, you can help us provide new beginnings to survivors of domestic violence.
