The Caring Place is an equal opportunity organization serving people who have experienced domestic violence and sexual assault and their dependents, without regard to race, religion, color, sex, age, ethnicity, national origin, disability status, sexual orientation, sexual identity or expression, marital or family status, genetic information, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law. 

The Caring Place is the only 24-hour crisis line and  emergency  shelter in Porter County.

• It costs $2,300 per month to provide food for those in shelter.
  

• It costs at least $90,000 per month to run The Caring Place facilities and all our expanded programming and community outreach.

During one 24-hour period in Indiana:

• 1,863 domestic violence victims, both children and adults, found refuge in emergency shelters or transitional housing provided by local domestic violence programs.

• During this same 24-hour period, 522 hotline calls were answered.

A donation of any size helps us to continue to save lives!

TOGETHER, WE CAN STEP INTO THOSE GAPS, CREATE A STRONGER COMMUNITY FOR ALL, AND BREAK THE SILENCE THAT HIDES THE VIOLENCE!
