River of Life Homes, Inc. was founded in 2004 with the mission to eliminate family violence through proactive intervention, education, counseling, caring for the victims of family violence. In our 8 years of serving our communities, with the help of our collaborates and communities, we have answered thousands of hotline phone calls, and  provided home-style emergency shelter, transitional housing for hundrends of women and children.   

 When River of life homes was founded years ago, there were other shelters already in existence, but not enough due to the continous rising  of domestic violence. Personal experience in domestic violence was also one of the factors that contributed to the foundation of our shelter. There are still a lot of work to do to eliminate the epidemic of domestic violence. River of life homes is proud to be one of the shelters to run this race.
