How You Can Help
- Share Information--If you know someone
who has been abused, listen without judging. Let them know that
you support and care about them. Let them know that they are not
responsible for the abuse, and that the violence will probably
continue and possibly escalate. Inform them of our services and
encourage them to call or come to our office. One of our organization's
goals is to provide information to the public about domestic violence
and sexual assault. Invite us to speak to your club, religious
organization, class or business.
- Volunteer--Crisis Intervention Services welcomes
people to volunteer time and skills to help provide services and community
education.
To volunteer you can be: a shelter advocate, a child advocate, a member
of the Fund Raising Committee or Board of Directors. Download applications

Members now (you will need Adobe Acrobat reader

- Monetary Donation--Crisis Intervention Services
is a nonprofit organization supported by local, state and federal
grants and donations from individuals, organizations and corporations
in our community. We need your support in our efforts to end violence
in the lives of others. All donations are welcome and appreciated.
