Our Mission

The purpose of Help and Emergency Response, Inc. is to provide shelter and to engage in dedicated efforts to eliminate domestic violence.  


The H.E.R. Shelter is a private, non-profit agency, certified by the United Way of South Hampton Roads, and the statewide coalition, Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance (VSDVAA). We have a 24-hour emergency hotline where a trained advocate can assist individuals in need with information, referrals, or when appropriate, can provide safe, emergency housing for a woman and her children.

Over-The-Hill-2008: A HUGE Success!


On behalf of the staff at the H.E.R. Shelter, we would like to send out a special THANK YOU to the H.E.R. Board of Directors, Volunteers, Donors, Sponsors, Guests, and our Friends at WAVY-TV-10 for your support for the OTH-2008 events.

We are very proud of the work we do here at the shelter. We are equally proud of the close supportive relationship we have with the community we serve, and in particular, individuals like yourselves, that provide us with the necessary resources and support to keep our agency going.

THANK YOU!



...If you weren't able to attend this year's festivities, Don't Worry! Next year will be the 25th OTH Bowl. We are looking at making OTH-2009 our biggest ever, and we need YOUR help!!!
