If you aren’t familiar with the Christos House Domestic Violence Shelter & Outreach program they were founded in 1982 as a grassroots organization. They’re an amazing place with a mission to give survivors of domestic violence and sexual violence a safe haven to escape the violence and heal while making positive changes in a supportive environment. Since the Christos House, Inc. was established they’ve grown to maintain a 36 bed emergency shelter, 2 outreach offices, 1 resale store and to serve 8 counties. They’re now growing again and are in the process of building a new emergency shelter and 14 tiny homes!!

This new project will provide survivors, and their children with an autonomous living space to safely move forward after experiencing the trauma of domestic and sexual trauma

Come on out and help raise some money for a wonderful local non-profit and enjoy some great food and awesome cars
