ATVP maintains a safe, confidential shelter here on the Palouse for people in danger due to domestic violence. We provide food and clothing for survivors and their children. Staff are available for help, emotional support, and case management, and individuals living with disabilities will be accommodated.
For more information on what our shelter program entails, or if you believe you might be in need of shelter, please call us at any time. An advocate will discuss your situation and help you decide if shelter is the right option for you.
Shelter Donations
We appreciate the support of many community members who want to help survivors by donating toward our shelter. Because our storage space is limited, we ask donors to stick to our current list of shelter needs.
Items marked with an asterisk are high demand items.
Please note: We are currently fully stocked on clothing of all sizes and types. Clothing is not a current need for us.*
