About us


For 38 years, Domestic Violence Shelter and Services, Inc. has empowered victims and their families to break the cycle of domestic violence by providing shelter and on-going support services, as well as public awareness and prevention programs. We work toward empowering the increasing number of victims and their families to break the cycle of domestic violence.

We rely on the kind and generous support of individual donors, local businesses, community organizations, churches, philanthropic trusts, as well as local, state and federal funding. Domestic Violence Shelter and Services, Inc. owns and operates three resale stores in the Wilmington, NC area. Profit generated by Vintage Values Resale Shops is used to support the organization.

Our agency is a non-discriminatory, 501(c)(3), equal opportunity, nonprofit organization partially supported by the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act, the North Carolina Council for Women, and the Governor’s Crime Commission. Governing documents, policies, and statements are available for public review upon request.
