Shelter Services
MARYS House provides emergency safe shelter for families who are victims of domestic violence. While providing a safe place to stay we also provide food, clothing, personal hygiene items, counseling, resources and referrals according to individual needs. During the stay at our shelter, each client works with our professional staff to identify needs and set goals. Clients receive individual and group counseling, case management, referrals, advocacy, and all basic living necessities during their shelter stay. Follow-up support is available and encouraged for clients who have completed their stay. All services are free of charge for victims and their children.
We serve Pickens County, the Upstate and anyone who is in need of a safe refuge. We aim to provide clients the tools they need to make the permanent changes necessary for a life without domestic violence. We also provide emotional support, with counseling and conversations with other victims. Call 1.864.859.9191 if you need safe shelter.
Hope Services
MARYS House provides emergency safe shelter for all family members. We are pet-friendly. Leaving a family member behind should never be a decision you have to make to leave the violence. Our pets are part of our family and we do not want them left behind.
