Thank you for your question. We are not that kind of shelter. We provide emergency crisis shelter for victims of intimate partner domestic violence with or without children, who are fleeing an abusive relationship and are in imminent danger.

Thank you for your inquiry. We provide a, variety of services for individuals in abusive relationships, with an inimate partner. Please have the young lady contact our hotline at 760-328-7233. It is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Hotline staff are bilingual (English and Spanish speaking). They can provide her with information, safety planning, and shelter services depending on the assistance she requests and needs. If she is immediate danger she can contact her local law enforcement agency or 911 for assistance.

I'm absolutely perplexed why you wouldn't be taking clothing donations. Here in San Diego, they ARE taking donations for women's shelters and also other donation centers. WHY in the world wouldn't you?
