Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Crime & Law, Domestic Violence, Family Violence Shelters, Homeless & Housing, Human Services, Spouse Abuse Prevention

Mission: The mission of Brewster Center is to provide safer options and support to all victims/survivors of domestic violence through individual empowerment, advocacy, shelter, prevention, community education and social change. We believe that personal and societal violence is rooted in oppression and in the fundamental power imbalances within our society. Our goal is to increase safety and reduce the impact of domestic violence on victims/survivors. Brewster Center provides all services based upon an empowerment advocacy model, which means we support every victim/survivor in developing their own solutions. Brewster Center began in 1963 as a residential program for unwed mothers, and in 1982, began operating a domestic violence shelter for women and children. Since then, services have expanded from offering just the basic needs of food, clothing, and a bed to providing comprehensive support for victims to build a safe and independent future for themselves and their children.
