Saving, Building
& Changing Lives

Merryman House is committed to saving, building and changing lives affected by domestic violence.

Merryman House Domestic Crisis Center is committed to improving the lives of those affected by intimate partner violence: women, men, and children. We are the state-designated and only certified domestic violence program in the Purchase Area Development District serving Ballard, Calloway, Carlisle, Fulton, Graves, Hickman, Marshall, and McCracken counties.

Merryman House offers a 24/7 staffed crisis hotline and emergency shelter, safety planning, comprehensive case management and advocacy, court advocacy, support groups and education, housing stabilization and assistance, and more. It has three outreach offices located in McCracken, Marshall and Calloway counties. All services are free and confidential.

It is our purpose and passion to answer calls for help, assist victims to find refuge from the risk of death and serious physical injury, provide food and shelter, support survivors in court, and help them become financially stable and visibly strong. We have been privileged to serve Paducah and the surrounding counties for more than 45 years.
