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.
