Support Alexandra House by helping us honor survivors, remember those we've lost, and raise both awareness and funds for our vital domestic and sexual violence services.
HopeFest is one of Alexandra House’s signature events, raising awareness about domestic and sexual violence and critical funds to support its mission. It's a time for the community to come together—to honor survivors, remember lives lost, and take action for a violence-free future. Leading up to the event, individuals and teams raise funds to support Alexandra House’s life-saving services.
The Need: Domestic and sexual violence affects millions, including nearly 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men in Minnesota. Beyond the personal trauma, it carries enormous societal costs in healthcare, lost productivity, and legal expenses.
Our Impact: For nearly 50 years, Alexandra House has supported survivors and their families through a holistic, trauma-informed approach. Services are free, confidential, and available to adults, children, and older adults impacted by domestic, sexual, and relationship violence.
Locations: Andover, Anoka, and Blaine.
Core Services Include:
Emergency shelter
24-hour helpline
Legal and hospital advocacy
Support groups
Youth and elder abuse services
Housing assistance
Community and professional education
New Initiative: Linus’ Pet Haven—a pet-friendly shelter space at the Blaine campus—removes a barrier for survivors who hesitate to leave abusive situations due to concern for their pets' safety.
Your Support Makes a Difference:
$50 – Healthy relationships education for a student
