"A Place to Heal"

Thanks to the help of so many people and organizations, Domestic Violence Project, Inc. is able to operate two domestic violence shelters in Stark County, Ohio.  Here, victims of domestic violence find a clean, safe, fully supplied place to stay.  Survivors and their families live in the shelter for a temporary period of time, helping each other heal and partaking of the services we offer.
