The Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that by the most conservative estimates each year 1 million women suffer non-fatal violence by an intimate partner. Despite of this knowledge, many people believe that domestic violence is a private family matter and that it does not have any bearing on their day-to-day lives. We are here to help.

New Start Center is a private, non-profit, 501(c)3 charitable organization which opened it's doors on July 1, 2000 for the purpose of assisting abused women and their children.

Our services are available free of charge to all physically or emotionally abused women and their children.  Criteria for acceptance and participation in the program are the same for everyone without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex or handicap.

 

Mission Statement

The New Start Center's mission is for abused women and their children to lead safe productive lives by providing temporary shelter, education support groups and community awareness on domestic violence.
