Shari Kastein, Family Crisis Center, Inc. Founder<\/p><\/div>\n

The Family Crisis Center was founded in 1987 by a local pioneering woman, Shari Kastein, who saw the need to offer services to victims of domestic abuse. Kastein single-handedly established the nonprofit and drove all its early fundraising. Kastein’s story is a tribute and inspiration to women everywhere who find themselves trapped in unbearable circumstances where abuse is ongoing. Read her incredible story at her website: ShariKastein.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The current shelter was donated by Ginny Stapp\u2019s family to the Family Crisis Center and moved to Redfield in 2012 on a lot owned by Grow Spink<\/a>. The house was remodeled to accommodate survivors and their children. A garage and basement were added and the shelter opened to the public August 1, 2013.<\/p>\n
