Dove is a social service organization that is celebrating its 50th year. Susie Kensil is the coordinator of the Dove Domestic Violence Program in Shelby County and she says that Dove strives to help those who are unable to help themselves.

Dove is a rather small organization within Shelby County, according to Kensil and they have a lot more programs in other counties in Illinois that they serve. 

Dove in Shelby County has two programs including a domestic violence program and a financial assistance program.

Kensil says that they’re seeing an increase in domestic violence calls, but not as much of an increase as they expected.
