The Green Hills Women’s Shelter:
Building Hope for the Future
The Green Hills Women’s Shelter has begun the campaign to build a new shelter in Trenton. The new facility will be larger, hosting four family units and five individual units. Two kitchens in the new facility will allow for the increased number of residents to create meals for their families. Residents in the new shelter will have access to increased bathroom facilities also.
The new facility has office space for on-site counseling. A large conference room will also be available for workshops and
trainings for residents, non-residents, and staff.
Safety will be addressed with the addition of a buzz-in alarm system, fire control, and an alarm/surveillance system. An
added layer of protection will be created by the location of the shelter being across the street from the law enforcement
center.
Funds have already been collected through a $500,000 Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) Grant of which over
$300,000 dollars worth of 70% credits have been sold. The shelter is seeking buyers for the remaining 70% NAP Credits,
as well as some 50% Credits. Since the Green Hills Women’s Shelter is a 501(c)3 not for profit organization, any donation
is tax deductible and appreciated.
Please donate to the Green Hills Women’s Shelter construction fund to help families break the cycle of violence caused
by domestic violence and sexual assault. Donations may be mailed to:
Green Hills Women’s Shelter
