House of Grace
Support Out Work
For more than 25 years, House of Grace has been a trusted place of safety for survivors of domestic violence in Northwest Mississippi. What began as one shelter meeting an urgent need has grown into a multi-county organization serving 11 counties with a full range of support services. Over the years, thousands of survivors have found safety, healing, and hope through our programs.
Every year, we welcome more than 80 survivors and their children into our shelter, provide crisis intervention and advocacy to over 1,200 survivors, and help at least 25 families with housing support like rental deposits, utilities, transportation, and job readiness.
At House of Grace, we go beyond emergency shelter. We partner with law enforcement, healthcare providers, and community organizations, while also helping survivors overcome everyday challenges—whether that’s clothing, personal care products, covering essential bills, or even car repairs and fuel so they can get to court, work, or medical appointments.
None of this would be possible without the generosity of people like you. Every gift makes a real difference in the lives of survivors and their children, helping them not only find safety but also build a future full of stability and hope.
Giving Hope Through Our Wish List
For many survivors of domestic violence, leaving means walking away from everything they own. No clothes packed, no supplies for their children—just the bravery to take that first step to safety.
That’s where our Wish List comes in. By choosing an item to purchase, you’re doing more than donating—you’re providing something real and immediate that a survivor needs right now.
Items like suitcases allow survivors to carry their belongings with dignity, while diapers in larger sizes help mothers care for their little ones. These simple gifts make a world of difference in a family’s journey toward healing and hope.
Every purchase from our Wish List is a direct act of love and support. Together, we can turn a moment of crisis into the start of a safer, brighter future.
SHELTER
In 2023, more than 80,000 people in the U.S. who used homeless services reported domestic violence as the main cause. One in four families experience homelessness do to domestic violence.Many more go uncounted, staying with friends, in cars, or hidden from the public system. This is hidden homelessness.
SUPPORT
Our services help survivors, victims, and their children heal emotionally, access legal protection, and rebuild their lives through resources like housing and job support. Without help, many victims remain trapped in cycles of abuse or face homelessness and trauma. Support empowers them to regain control, restore their dignity, and create a safer future.
OUTREACH

Teaching younger generations that abuse is never acceptable, and that respect, empathy, and equality must be the foundation of every relationship and a better community.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
Without your support, we wouldn’t be able to provide safety, resources, and hope to those escaping domestic violence.
Where does your money go?
A domestic violence shelter provides a safe place for survivors to heal and rebuild their lives. With the support of donor contributions, shelters offer essential services like emergency housing, food, transportation, legal assistance, and mental health counseling. Every donation directly helps survivors escape abuse, find stability, and access the support they need to move forward with strength and dignity.
When you give $25
When you give $25, you cover the cost of replacing a birth certificate, driver's license, bus ticket, or any other necessary physical document. When escaping violence, life and safety are priorities. A U.S. fact sheet notes many victims leave “in the middle of the night with nothing but the clothes on their backs,” indicating they escape with minimal possessions, thus limiting the help they are able to receive.
When you give $75
When you give $75, you help victims, survivors, and their children receive counseling. Counseling is essential for victims and their children because it helps them heal from trauma, rebuild self-worth, and break the cycle of abuse. It provides emotional support, teaches healthy coping and relationship skills, and offers safety planning. For children, it also helps restore stability and emotional security. Overall, counseling empowers families to recover and move forward in safety.
When you give $50
When you give $50, you provide one educational program; cover and cover the cost of a housing application fee. Homelessness is not just about lacking shelter—it's about living in constant survival mode, exposed to violence, exploitation, and systemic neglect. That’s why safe housing and trauma-informed support are essential, not optional.
When you give $100
When you donate $100, you provide essential personal care items—such as toiletries, hygiene products, and basic necessities. These items may seem small, but they play a vital role in helping survivors feel safe, clean, and dignified during an incredibly difficult time. Having access to basic personal care not only meets immediate needs but also helps restore a sense of normalcy and self-worth, giving survivors the strength and confidence to focus on healing and rebuilding their lives.
When you give $250
When you give $250, you provide essential clothing for victims and survivors, and their children, escaping domestic violence. Simple things like a new shirt provide dignity, meet basic needs, ensure safety, and help them confidently attend important appointments. According to a U.S study, most victims leave in the middle of the night with only the clothes on their backs. Providing clothing allows a sense of normalcy and security, helping them to focus on healing and rebuilding their lives.
When you give $500
When you donate $500 to House of Grace, you help maintain and improve our shelter facilities, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for survivors of domestic violence. A well-maintained space is more than just walls and furniture—it provides security, stability, and peace of mind for individuals and families during one of the most challenging times in their lives. Your support allows us to keep our doors open, address critical repairs, and create a nurturing environment where survivors can heal and rebuild with dignity.
Safety is the first step toward healing—but it’s just the beginning. Survivors need more than a safe place; they need the chance to rebuild their lives with dignity, stability, and hope. For over 25 years, House of Grace has been walking alongside survivors and their children across 11 counties in Northwest Mississippi, providing not only emergency shelter but also long-term support that helps them find independence.
With your support, we can keep our shelter strong, grow our services, and make sure every survivor who turns to us finds safety, compassion, and a real path forward.
