Sojourner House: Past, Present, Future

Sojourner House’s 45th anniversary video, celebrating our 45 years of lifesaving services and advocacy in Rhode Island.

DONATE TO OUR CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

In March, Sojourner House launched a $1.5M Capital Campaign to pay off the mortgage on our 1570 Westminster Street property in the West End of Providence, pay for needed repairs, and create an operating reserve fund for future building expenses. The new property, purchased in 2022, now houses the agency’s clinical, housing, immigration, and advocacy teams, and serves as the central Drop-In Center for clients.

Thanks to a generous gift from The Champlin Foundation, all donations to the Capital Campaign will be matched dollar for dollar up to $250,000 if given or pledged by October 31, 2023.

When you donate to Sojourner House, your dollars help to fund housing, support services, and advocacy for all those who have experienced domestic violence or sexual abuse.

GET INVOLVED

Show your commitment to ending domestic violence and sexual abuse forever by joining us at an event, volunteering your time and expertise, or applying for a career with us. We rely every day on our community to support our work.

GET HELP

Our advocates assist victims of violence as they navigate their path towards a violence free life. Advocates can make recommendations and connect victims with helpful resources, but most of all, advocates listen. They do not judge, give advice, or pressure victims to make changes before they are ready.

“She fled several times. To different homes and even different states. He would find her every single time. 

Having children in common made it even more difficult: the threats of custody and deportation were constant. He severely assaulted her and she made her way to us from across the country. We filed her immigration case and found her permanent housing. Her life was finally making sense, and all the pieces were falling into place. Her visa was approved, and after years of separation, her older children were able to join her here as one reunited family. 

This week she received the one thing she thought was impossible: her legal permanent resident card. I’m incredibly proud of her, of her resilience and strength. She is the single mother of four, and she is doing an amazing job raising kind and respectful children. This is only one case of many, but I get to work with our clients for so long, that I grow fond of them and their victories are also mine.”
