Grace Smith House has been serving our community, for forty-two years.
In 1981, Grace Smith House opened its first door. Now, for over four decades, courageous, compassionate and empowered women and men have stepped across the threshold and received the support they needed to stop the cycle of domestic violence in their lives.
To attend the reception, RSVP to marianneb@gracesmithhouse.org

Join Family Services on Saturday, October 23rd to take a stand against sexual assault and domestic violence and show your support for survivors!
The impact of COVID-19 has made the need for resources for adults, children, and communities experiencing violence more critical than ever—AND YOU CAN HELP! Please plan to join us at the Poughkeepsie Galleria for our 11th Annual Family Services Walk A Mile In Her Shoes®.
Together, we will walk to end sexual assault and domestic violence, to show our solidarity with survivors, and to raise funds for services that not only support victims, but also educate youth on violence prevention and help offenders turn away from abusive behavior.
