When we speak about domestic violence and sexual assault, the truth of the matter is… it does not care if you are black or white, rich or poor, young or old.
When domestic violence and sexual assault rears its ugly head it does not discriminate.
Every person that has experienced domestic violence or sexual assault is a mother/father, sister/ brother, neighbor, or co-worker. These people are in every area of our everyday lives.
We serve 11 counties including Vanderburgh, Warrick, Posey, Gibson, Dubois, Spencer, Perry, Crawford, Orange, Pike, and Harrison.
All of our services are confidential and free of charge.
Albion Fellows Bacon Center is here to help!

KUDOS of the Month goes to:
Sandy Hinton who volunteered her time to embroider a table cloth with Albion’s name for us to bring to health fairs. These events help us recruit volunteers!
Cadet Curtis Soberg and Marvin Hearn, two Cadets from USI who helped build our Children’s play area.
Carrie Tank and Jack Markham both of whom are indirect volunteers. We are very thankful to our many indirect volunteers.
Stacey Baumberger and Baumberger’s Furniture for donating two chairs and a sofa for our shelter’s lobby. Many of our residents have enjoyed being able to relax while waiting to speak to an advocate.
Pacer’s Foundation and Verizon Wireless “two for two” program for donating $4694.00 to go towards our playground for the children staying at our shelter.
Albion Fellows Bacon Center’s Board members for helping build our new children’s playground area.
