A last-minute donation is keeping the doors open at the House of Hope women's shelter—but without additional funding, its future remains uncertain.

A new women’s and children’s shelter is set to open in Dover, following the unveiling of the building on Walker Road last week by the Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing. This facility is designed to create a supportive environment where mothers and children can remain together during difficult times.

As the cold and frigid temperatures grip the region, a beacon of warmth and compassion has emerged in the form of the first women's shelter in the Cape region, courtesy of Code Purple and The Lutheran Church of our Savior in Rehoboth Beach.
