Drive out Domestic Violence!

Hope Harbour in Columbus Georgia is a nonprofit organization that for more than four decades has served adults and children affected by domestic violence. It began in 1979 when community members recognized the urgent need for safe shelter and support for victims of abuse. As those efforts grew, Hope Harbour established its own confidential emergency shelter and expanded services designed to help survivors find safety and rebuild their lives. The organization responds to individuals and families from multiple counties in Georgia and even across state lines into parts of Alabama.

The mission of Hope Harbour is to provide emergency shelter crisis intervention safety and advocacy for those who have experienced domestic violence. Trained advocates are available around the clock through a crisis hotline to help people in danger find immediate support and resources.
