Our Mission

St. Jude House is a safe emergency shelter and provider of services for victims of domestic violence and their dependent children. We provide housing, counseling and compassionate assistance. Through educational programs we work to teach others to recognize the cycle of domestic violence, to empower them to break that cycle and to offer support and follow-up.
