The Ozarks is filled with local organizations whose purpose is to help those in their community. One of those organizations is Cope Domestic Violence Agency and Shelter in Lebanon. Judy Kile says their main goal is to be a lifeline.

Cope does this by providing several things to help domestic violence victims get back on their feet such as a temporary safe place to stay, employment, transportation, securing financial resources, locating a new safe home environment for you and your children, food, and other needs. You can reach Cope Domestic Violence Agency to get this process started by calling 417-533-5201. If you’d like to find out more information or donate, you can see their website at Copeoflebanon.com
