About Us

The Shade Tree is a 24-hour accessible shelter which offers life changing services to victims of domestic violence, sexual abuse, human trafficking, elder abuse, and street violence. Our doors are open to women (with or without children), and unaccompanied youth of any gender facing economic hardship who lack an adequate place to live. Programs and services at The Shade Tree promote stability, dignity, and self-reliance, while escaping the cycle of abuse, homelessness, or violence. The Shade Tree is the largest shelter of its kind in the state and is the only 24-hour accessible shelter designed specifically to meet the needs of women and their children in the region.

Since 1988, the United States has recognized December 1st as World Aids Day. This year, the theme for this important day of recognition is “Putting Ourselves to the Test: Achieving Equity to End HIV”, with the goal of focusing on communities that are disproportionately affected by the current Covid-19 pandemic. HIV/AIDs, Covid-19, and mpox have all affected underserved communities exponentially more. This year, the movement fights to recognize the disparities and create a more equitable world in which we can all receive the same testing and treatment, no matter our age, race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity. 
The only way to know you have HIV/AIDS is to get tested. There are many testing options available through various pharmacies, clinics, and even at home test kits. Check out the resources below for more information:
