The facts, in one place
- Emergency shelter and services for women and children.
- Includes help for people leaving domestic violence.
- In immediate danger, call 911 first.
- Contact the organization or 211 for current intake.
If you are in danger right now
Call 911. Getting out of danger comes before any intake process, any app, and any plan. Advocacy organizations can help with what comes after, and they can help with safety planning before a crisis too.
Why this is on a help app’s website
Because someone will search for help and land here. A community app for jump starts and moving boxes has no business being the last page a person in danger reads. These organizations are the right ones, and naming them is the least this site can do.
Where Help Me fits
Help Me is not a shelter and not an advocate. This page exists so someone who needs help finds the right organization.
Helpers can apply to be reviewed by our team. Help Me does not run background checks. Help Me is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
