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.

🎶 GOSPEL PRAISING

The first day back is a big deal for every kid. It's a different kind of big deal when your family just moved into a shelter.

We're collecting new school supplies for the children in our programs, and these are what families ask for most:

▪️ Larger backpacks for middle and high school students

▪️ Water bottles, small and large

▪️ Wired headphones and earbuds

▪️ Binders, folders, glue sticks, and highlighters

Everything needs to be new, and you can drop items off at our office at 218 W Broadway Ave in Bismarck.

See the full list, including an Amazon option, at abusedadultresourcecenter.com/get-involved/wish-list.

The first day back i

When we end our days at the office at AARC, after sometimes particularly TOUGH days, this is what we see when we leave the building.

It’s a little reminder to me to stop rushing past the good stuff, to appreciate the little things. There are gifts hiding in the ordinary everywhere—you just have to slow down long enough to see them.

BIG thanks to Kris for planting these and taking care of them! It definitely brightens up the parking lot!
