Desert Rose Foundation, Inc. is a faith-based 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization whose mission is to provide transitional shelter for victims of domestic violence and the services they need to break the cycle of violence.

Desert Rose is an organization of hope and restoration, reaching out with love to victims in need. According to Isaiah 61:1 (paraphrased) the Lord has come to set the captives free, to bind up the broken-hearted and to set at liberty those who have been bruised. By extending our hands of hope and encouragement, we believe we are extending the love of Christ and honoring God by serving our community.

Victims must first feel safe before they can deal with the crisis they are in. Desert Rose Transitional Shelter opened on January 18, 2005 and is located in Martinsville, Indiana. The shelter is supported by donations from churches, individuals, businesses, and organizations; as well as funding from various grants.
