In 1992, a local woman lost her life at the hands of her estranged husband in a Park City parking lot. This event energized community leaders to actively address domestic violence. The Domestic Peace Task Force was formed, and in 1995 the Peace House shelter was built. For the first few years, Peace House was operated entirely by volunteers.

Today, our Community Campus provides thousands of services each year to community members impacted by interpersonal violence. Our Peace House victim advocates answer calls for assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year. In the years since it began as a safe haven for victims of domestic violence, Peace House has evolved and grown to provide a continuum of care to ensure survivors have the time and space to heal and thrive.

In collaboration with local partners, our program now includes community prevention and awareness programs, sexual assault services, counseling, and case management. Today, thanks to donations and grants, we retain a full-time professional staff. Our dedicated team of 50 and dozens of generous volunteers are the backbone of our organization, providing the best services possible to survivors in Summit and Wasatch County.

For more than 30 years, Peace House has been a cornerstone in our community, offering safety, support, and hope to those impacted by interpersonal violence. Our commitment to this mission is unwavering, and our vision for the future is bold—we will continue to expand our services, reach more individuals in need, and ensure that every person has access to the resources and care they need. None of this would be possible without the generosity of our donors and the dedication of our volunteers. Together, we will continue building a future free of interpersonal violence and abuse.
