In 1989, The Shelter’s journey began with a single step taken by a handful of committed individuals who believed that every human being has the right to a life free from domestic violence. The course set by those early trailblazers unified a community of support, and the resulting journey has transformed the lives of thousands of survivors in Collier County.

It is our goal that one day, The Shelter will reach its destination when every home in Collier County is a safe have haven for the family it shelters. Until then, as in the words of Ernest Hemingway, “It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters, in the end.“

Our Vision is a community free from domestic violence and human trafficking. Our Mission is to lead and collaborate with the community to Prevent, Protect and Prevail over domestic violence and human trafficking
