Haven House was founded in 1979 by the Coalition for Victims of Domestic Violence (now known as the Erie County Coalition Against Family Violence) and is a recognized leader in the provision of domestic violence services. Haven House works to prevent domestic and intimate partner violence and promote peace in the home. Services for survivors include an emergency shelter in a confidential location and counseling to help individuals cope with the pain and trauma of violence in the home. 

We will be collecting items for Haven House at the Kenmore Library until Sunday, November 30th.
