Our Services

River City Domestic Violence Center provides a wide range of services that are specially coordinated for each survivor's individual needs. The main objective of River City is to provide immediate shelter and safety for victim/survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and child abuse.

During a survivor's stay at River City our advocates work to help them and their family to find stability.
