Q: Is your shelter at the downtown Community Service Center?
A: No. A common misconception is that our location downtown is the emergency shelter. The shelter is at an undisclosed location for the privacy and safety of those we serve. The building downtown is our Community Service Center where we provide drop-in advocacy, legal advocacy assistance and many other services.
Q: Are your services only for women?
A: No. Our services are available for all genders who are survivors of domestic violence or sexual assault.
Q: My partner isn't violent, but I still suspect abuse. Can I still call?
A: Absolutely. Feel free to call our 24-Hour HelpLine if you have any questions or need assistance at (360) 754-6300.
Q: I can’t leave because I don’t want to leave behind my pet.
A: You can contact us about making safe arrangements for your pet during your shelter stay. We partner with Concern for Animals and Red Rover to provide housing at a local kennel for your pet at no cost for the duration of your stay, if space is available.
Q: Can I come talk to an advocate in person?
A: Yes! Our drop-in hours are listed on the Drop-In Advocacy page. Visit our downtown Olympia Community Services Center at 521 Legion Way SE.
Q: I have items I'd like to donate. What items are you accepting?
A: First off, thank you! While we graciously accept item donations from the public, it is recommended to call our business office ahead of time to make sure we're accepting the items you're hoping to donate. You are also welcome to view our wish list on our website for needed items.
