Our Mission is: To transform lives by, Supporting, Teaching, Outfitting, and Preventing future abuse through group sessions, classes, and job training.

We are a nonprofit 501c3 organization  EIN 84-2925423

Our story begins, on Feb 17th, 2018 as God called our hearts to His work. 

We then applied and received our nonprofit status on September 19th, 2019.

Why are we 5 Stones Open Door? Because of the lived experiences of our 5 dear friends who lost their lives to Trauma, Sexual assault, and Domestic Violence. 

To date: We offer group sessions such as From There to Here domestic violence class and Mending the Soul for those who have experienced sexual assault. Recipes 4 Change is our program to address homelessness which is often a result of trauma.
