On behalf of everyone at Crisis Intervention Shelter Service, we wanted to extend our deepest gratitude and say thank you to the Sturgis Rally Charities of allowing us to be recipient again this year! We are so thankful for the belief and support in our mission and the services we provide in our community.
Crisis Intervention Shelter Service would love to extend a heartfelt “thank you” all of our donors!
Each donation we receive goes to help further our mission of providing shelter and services to victims of domestic violence.
Often when victims flee from their abuser, it is a dire situation and they are leaving with only the clothes they are wearing.
These funds will be used to help victims with emergency shelter, obtaining IDs, birth certificates, transportation,
and many other necessities they may need.
We are all incredibly thankful for the continued support!
Together, we are working to end domestic violence.
Thank you!

IN 1990, A GROUP OF VOLUNTEERS, UPSET ABOUT THE GROWING NUMBER OF WOMEN IN MINNESOTA MURDERED BY THEIR PARTNERS FELT AN URGENCY TO DO SOMETHING TO HONOR THE LIVES OF 26 WOMEN WHO HAD DIED IN 1990 BECAUSE OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
“You can recognize survivors of abuse by their courage. When silence is so very inviting, they step forward and share their truth so others know they aren’t alone.”
