This fund was created as a permanent repository for individuals who wish to ensure the work of this organization goes on continually, moving battered women to a place of shelter, security, strength and independence.

First operated as the Salvation Army Shelter for Abused Women, Meg’s House was later chartered in January, 1990 as The Greenwood Shelter for Abused women under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Deriving its name from the initials of the three counties it serves (McCormick, Edgefield, and Greenwood form the acronym MEG), Meg’s House is incorporated by the State of South Carolina as a not-for-profit organization whose sole purpose is to provide safe emergency shelter and supportive services for victims of domestic violence.

Since its beginning, over 8,600 clients have received services provided by Meg’s House including emergency shelter, assistance with relocation and transitional housing, information and referrals, court advocacy, support groups, and education.

The staff at Meg’s House prides themselves in helping people help themselves lead happy, healthy lives.
