Our story began in 1984, when a compassionate committee from Canton First United Methodist Church (CFUMC) recognized the urgent need to support IPV victims, then known as battered women, in Cherokee County. We collaborated with local institutions like R. T. Jones Memorial Hospital, the Canton Police Department, and the Blue Ridge Judicial Circuit. Drawing inspiration from successful shelters across Georgia.
Through thoughtfully crafted programs, we offer an array of services designed to provide holistic support, encompassing counseling, legal advocacy, shelter, and educational resources. By addressing the diverse needs of our community, we strive to empower survivors on their journey towards healing, resilience, and a brighter future.
