Community Crisis Center

When people think about domestic violence shelters, they often picture a bed, a room, and a roof overhead. What many don't see are the advocates answering crisis calls at 2 a.m., the children's activities helping kids smile again, the rides to court, the job applications, the safety planning, the support groups, the housing searches, and the countless moments spent walking alongside survivors while they rebuild their lives.

Emergency shelter is where the journey often begins- not where it ends. Behind every shelter stay is a team working to help survivors find safety, stability, healing, and hope. Because for the over 230 survivors and their children we house each year, shelter is so much more than a bed. 💜

Calling all local artists!

Community Crisis Center is excited to host our 2nd Annual Survivor Art Gallery at this year's Caring Hands Gala on October 3, 2026. We are seeking artwork that reflects hope, healing, resilience, strength, and the journey of overcoming adversity- made by local survivors. Submissions may include:
• Paintings
• Drawings
• Photography
• Poetry
• Mixed Media
• Other Creative Works

Artists may choose to have their work displayed during the gala and picked up afterward, or donate their piece to be included in our live or silent auction to further support survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking.
We invite you to share your creativity and help inspire others through the power of art.
