Transforming Lives, Inspiring Hope
Welcome to our non-profit community, where creativity drives meaningful change. We are dedicated to developing lasting solutions for our society's most urgent issues. At Deborah's Place, we offer safe housing, job training, personal care, and strong community support for those in need, helping everyone have the chance to succeed.
Our Mission
The mission of Deborah’s Place is to empower survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, women rebuilding their lives after incarceration, justice-impacted youth and adults, seniors, and underserved families by removing barriers to safety, stability, opportunity, and long-term self-sufficiency.
Through safe and supportive housing, reentry services, workforce development and registered apprenticeships, education, essential resources, legal-access initiatives, transportation assistance, mentorship, and community-based programming, we help individuals move from crisis to stability and from stability to lasting economic mobility.
Deborah’s Place restores dignity, strengthens families, and creates pathways for people to heal, rebuild, and achieve sustainable futures.
Our Vision
We envision communities where survivors of domestic violence, justice-impacted individuals, and underserved families have access to the safety, resources, education, relationships, and opportunities they need not only to survive, but to thrive.

When my children and I moved into our new place we had just enough to cover it. I had no idea how we would get all the supplies we needed. Thanks to the donation center we have everything we need.
