Brunswick County North Carolina Domestic Violence Programs

Hope Harbor receives funding from private and public grants at the federal, state and local level. A large portion of the expenses for the shelter are covered by profits from the three Hope Chest Thrift Shops in Brunswick County. Donations from the private sector – area churches, civic groups, and private citizens – also help with expenses.

Hope Harbor Home since 1988 has operated Brunswick County’s only program offering around-the-clock response to victims of domestic violence and their children. Our shelter is open and staffed 24 hours a day every day of every year, during which up to 15 women and children at a time are provided refuge from the imminent threat of further family violence. We provide advocacy services to more than 1,000 victims and prevention/ education to more than 5,000.

These are the victims of domestic violence for whom Hope Harbor Home has been a beacon of hope for more than 30 years. As the demand for our help increases, so does our reliance on the generosity of those who care.
