Special Offering for May will be Verde Valley Sanctuary

by | Apr 8, 2026 | E-Newsletter, Home Page

Every month, Mountain View United Methodist takes a special offering to help support missions and ministries in our community and beyond. This month we will be supporting the Verde Valley Sanctuary.

The Verde Valley Sanctuary (VVS) began more than three decades ago as a grassroots organization of women who were concerned about domestic violence in our community. The original group of volunteers began taking crisis calls in their homes and transporting victims of abuse to the nearest shelters 50-plus miles away in Flagstaff, Prescott, and Phoenix.

Thanks to generous donations from the community, VVS opened the first domestic violence shelter in the Verde Valley region in 1993 with a leased modular home that slept six. Since then, VVS has strategically expanded and now offers comprehensive services for survivors of domestic and sexual violence in both residential and community-based formats.

Their mission is to provide safety, services, and comfort to survivors of domestic and sexual violence.
