Safe Start Storehouse

You can give survivors of domestic abuse a fresh start.

So often, survivors flee with only basic needs. When they are ready to move into their own safe home, they don’t have the essentials.

Sheltering Wings Safe Start Storehouse accepts donations of gently used furniture and household items. Your generous donations help survivors and their children build safe, stable, independent homes free from abuse.

Volunteers Needed!

We move our clients on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of each month. If you or your group want to help with this process, please reach out to Jess Jones at 317-386-5056 or [email protected]
