Our Mission

Doves, Inc. believes that all people have the right to live without violence or the fear of violence. To preserve that right, our mission is to provide immediate safety and shelter for individuals whose lives have been affected by domestic violence and sexual assault; to empower victims to become survivors, regaining control of their lives and realizing their individual potential which violence has threatened to destroy.

Who We Are

Doves, Inc. began in 1980 by providing services to victims of domestic violence. In response to the crisis caused by sexual assault, additional services were started in 1985. As the reported incidents of domestic violence increased, the shelter opened it's doors to families in crisis in 1988. Doves, Inc. was built by the compassion of a community and the commitment of volunteers. Throughout the years, additions have been made to that solid foundation and the results are a growing staff and a shelter with the capacity to house sixteen.
