Organization of the Month-October

This is my first send in for an organization of the month. It is by a long time reader who has worked with this organization. I am honored to announce that Lemon Life’s Organization of the Month is…..

Sojourner House

The Mission:
The mission of Sojourner House Domestic Violence Program is to provide a comprehensive program of crisis intervention,counseling, advocacy and shelter for victims of domestic violence in Mahoning County.

What they do:
They offer protective shelter to women and their children whom are fleeing an abusive environment and who cannot safely remain in their current residence. The shelter location is kept as confidential as possible to ensure the safety of residents and staff. Many victims of domestic violence are displaced without money, clothing or food and are in need of emergency shelter. The short-term refuge available at Sojourner House (up to 30 days) provides battered women a chance to think calmly and examine their options without pressure or fear. During their stay, women receive assistance to help them meet their emotional, legal, medical, financial, housing, educational and vocational needs. It gives them an opportunity to initiate solutions to the problems they are experiencing and make positive changes in their lives.
