Ending Violence Effectively

Preventing domestic violence and sexual assault

EVE, Incorporated seeks to prevent family violence and sexual assault through education and intervention, while providing supportive services to survivors; thereby promoting a safe and healthy community and improving the quality of life. EVE is funded through various federal, state and local grants as well as through fundraising, donations, and volunteers from the community.  Without your help, we would not be able to serve our community.

In 1979, EVE, Incorporated was established in Marietta, Ohio.  The agency began receiving Federal grants in 1980 for the purchase and renovation of the first shelter.  The doors opened for clients in the spring of 1981.  In the early years, EVE relied heavily on volunteers while seeking secure funding for the future.  By 1990, thanks to an enthusiastic director, a progressive board and a supportive community, EVE became a leader in the community on the issue of domestic violence with expanded funding and paid staff. In 1994, EVE was able to purchase a larger facility.  This allowed for many new programs to be implemented.  Today, with a budget of nearly $500,000, the shelter continues to provide services to the community. Services provided by EVE include emergency services and shelter to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and their families, advocacy services, transitional housing, counseling, children's programming, a supervised visitation and exchange center,peer support groups, educational programs, sexual assault intervention and a 24 hour hotline.  EVE also provides a speaker's bureau and survivor's bank.
