Women's shelters in Massachusetts provide safe housing situations for women and their children who are victims of violence and abuse. Many of the women's shelters that operate in Massachusetts are run by nonprofit charity organizations that depend on charitable donations in order to operate. The needs of individual shelters can vary, but clothing is almost always welcome as a donation. You can find the contact information for a local shelter by using the "Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless" directory service web page, a link for which is provided in this article's Resources section.
