Every Room Has a Story.

Steward a Space. Make an Impact.

Behind every door at RESPOND, something important is happening:

A survivor is meeting with an advocate.

A young adult is searching for housing.

A family is resting in a safe place for the night.

A parent is taking a breath and planning what comes next.

These aren’t just rooms. They are places where safety begins and new possibilities take shape.

In place of RESPOND’s annual gala sponsorships, we’re introducing a new way to be part of our story.

Through Room Stewardship, you can support the work that happens within RESPOND’s physical spaces through a one-year commitment. As a Room Steward, you’ll have opportunities to learn more about your space and the work it makes possible, receive updates throughout the year, and stay connected to the impact of your partnership.

Our hope is that you’ll come to see this space as your own, build a meaningful connection to its story, and feel inspired to continue your support for years to come. You can view RESPOND’s Room Stewardship Packet here.

We’re happy to work with your timeline to make your support possible. If you’d like to commit to a Room Stewardship gift now and make your payment after the new year, let us know! We are happy to accept pledges.

Welcome Center

For a survivor walking through RESPOND’s doors, the Welcome Center is the first space they see. It is where they are greeted, welcomed, and reminded that they do not have to face what comes next alone.

This leading room is currently stewarded by:

Emergency Shelter Bedroom

After leaving abuse, a survivor may arrive at RESPOND’s Emergency Shelter with little more than a bag of belongings. A private bedroom gives them and their family a safe place to sleep, breathe, and begin again.
