This Year's Project: Building Hope & Safe Shelter


About Our Organization

Hope Crisis Center is a non-profit organization that advocates for safety, justice, and healing for those impacted by domestic and sexual violence. We are passionate about creating a future without violence by providing education and inspiring our communities to action.



Current Project: Building Hope & Safe Shelter




Hope Crisis Center is committed to empowering victims of domestic and sexual violence throughout seven counties in southeast Nebraska, including Gage County.

“I was not equipped to go through this alone. There was no judgment or ridicule. I was the victim. They wanted me to be safe.”—Hope Crisis Center client

  • Services: 24-hour hotline, temporary shelter, emergency assistance, client advocacy, legal advocacy, medical advocacy, bilingual advocacy, information, and referrals

  • Impact: In 2023, Hope Crisis Center helped 602 adults and 103 children get to safety. During that time, 32 adults and 46 children received shelter for a total of 890 shelter nights. We also fielded 3,190 calls on our 24-hour hotline.

  • Project: There is no safety without shelter. As a domestic violence/sexual assault program, providing shelter to those displaced by violence is foundational to our mission. Right now, survivors are sailing through dangerous waters. The current economic climate, paired with a dire lack of affordable housing, is making homelessness an ever-present specter for those fleeing from abuse. Meanwhile, massive cuts to federal and county funding has challenged our capacity to serve. All money raised during Big Give Gage will go toward sustaining shelter, food, and housing assistance for survivors of domestic violence! 

  • Goal: With your support, we hope to raise $10,000 for survivors of violence during Big Give Gage! 

“With your help, I am now able to breathe, smile, and live out my days enjoying the things around me, instead of living in fear.” –Hope Crisis Center client

    • Impact: In 2022, Hope Crisis Center helped 616 adults and 123 children get to safety. During that time, 47 adults and 58 children received shelter for a total of 1,271 shelter nights. We also fielded 4,160 calls on our 24-hour hotline.

    • Project: There is no safety without shelter. As a domestic violence/sexual assault program, providing shelter to those displaced by violence is foundational to our mission. Unfortunately, the loss of our existing Beatrice shelter space, along with critical shortages in hotel availability due to an influx in visitors, limits our capacity to provide emergency shelter in our southernmost counties. In addition, our program is shouldering a whopping 42% cut to one of our biggest funding streams, which directly impacts the availability direct services. The Building Hope Capital Campaign for Safe Shelter ensures that this life-saving service remains available for survivors of violence. By remodeling a facility that includes trauma-informed client spaces and two shelter apartments, we can continue to build hope for those in need. 

    • Goal: With your support, we hope to raise $10,000 during Big Give Gage! This will go toward our $550,000 goal for the Building Hope Capital Campaign for Safe Shelter!
