It All Began In 1989.
For 25 years, The Shade Tree has been dedicated to improving the lives of women, children and their pets affected by domestic violence and crisis in the Las Vegas valley. As the largest and only 24-hour accessible shelter of its kind in Nevada, The Shade Tree provides help, healing, and hope to more than 6,000 women, children and their pets each year. We offer assistance to victims by providing safe shelter, meals, life skills and educational opportunities, access to healthcare and more.
Since 1989, The Shade Tree has provided victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, elder abuse, human trafficking, as well as homeless youth and families, with a wide range of comprehensive support. Our programs also collaborate with other community agencies to offer additional assistance.
Mission: To provide safe shelter to homeless and abused women and children in crisis and to offer life-changing services promoting stability, dignity, and self-reliance.
Vision: Self-reliance for every woman and child!
Here at SunBuggy, we believe that no one should ever have to endure a state of homelessness, existing in fear for personal safety and without the means to meet even the most basic of human needs – food and shelter. Every human being, regardless of social status, has the right to be treated with dignity and respect. All homeless children are victims because they lack choice and mobility. Homelessness is a community problem that impacts everyone and everyone can be a part of the solution.
