The New Hope Shelter is a safe residential program-based shelter in rural Maine. We opened our doors in 2010 and since that time we have given shelter to over 400 women and 100 children. The New Hope Women's Shelter is the only shelter in Somerset County, Maine that serves only women and children. Women come to us for many reasons:
Developmental disability or unstable mental health
Drug/alcohol addictions
Previous incarceration
Domestic violence survivor
Victim of catfishing (internet scam)
DHHS involvement
When we are the "hands and feet" of Christ, we are showing His love for those who need it. The Bible says in James 1:27 that this is "pure and undefiled religion".
