About Us
The mission of the Abused Adult Resource Center is to assist victims of domestic violence and sexual assault by establishing and maintaining a program which will provide temporary shelter, crisis intervention, prevention, education, support and hope as a vision to eliminate violence.
The Abused Adult Resource Center (AARC) has been helping survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault for more than 40 years. Serving south central North Dakota, we provide emergency support, crisis intervention, temporary shelter, food, counseling, and advocacy to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking.
Our goal is to help our clients and their families find hope through a life free from abuse. We also enjoy working with our communities to create an awareness and sensitivity to domestic violence and sexual assault issues, establishing programs that aim to break the cycle of abuse.

August 17 is National Nonprofit Day, and we'd rather spend it talking about you than about us.
Every service we provide is free. Crisis intervention, emergency shelter, counseling, court advocacy, support groups. A survivor never sees a bill. That's possible only because people across south central North Dakota decided this work was important enough to pay for.
Fifty years in, that hasn't changed.
So if you've given, volunteered, dropped a bag of supplies at our door, or shopped at Seeds of Hope, thank you.
And if you've been meaning to get involved, you can start at abusedadultresourcecenter.com/donate.

Happy National Thrift Shop Day to the only store in Bismarck where the sweater you buy helps somebody start over.
Seeds of Hope does more than raise money. Survivors find interview clothes through our Career Closet, pick out household furnishings when they're setting up a new place, and some train on the sales floor to build retail experience for a résumé that has a gap in it.
You'll find us at 520 E. Main Avenue, open 10:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Saturday.
Donations are accepted during those hours every open day except Wednesday, and we ask that you box or bag things first.
Come shop, bring something by, or call 701-222-8895 with questions about what we accept.
