House of Hope
We are launching a capital campaign to being construction of a brand-new House of Hope - our emergency shelter where victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking find solace during the storm. Our community has always been so supportive of Missouri Shores and our Mission -
To protect victims and serve survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, and to prevent such violence by enhancing education and awareness in our communities
and we are asking you to continue your generous support. We have operated out of our current House of Hope for the last 27 years. It has served us well and we have helped tens of thousands of people because of it.
However, our services increased 30% during our last fiscal year and a larger, updated emergency shelter is desperately needed. Our new House of Hope will add four client rooms and two staff offices, allowing us to accommodate the ever-growing need for the important work we do.
Will you help us? If every citizen of Pierre and Fort Pierre donated $100 today, we would raise over 80% of our $2,000,000 goal. Your donation will allow families to start a new life - free of abuse - for the next 27 years, and beyond.
Many men and women find themselves trapped and alone - a prisoner in their own home. They are scared, confused, and isolated. You can make a difference today. 100% of proceeds donated to Missouri Shores are tax-deductible and directly benefit victims and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking.
Make a pledge today for our new House of Hope - for the hundreds of people we helped each year, for your friends, for your neighbors, for your loved ones who have survived abuse in their own relationships.
Thank you to our supporters!
