How YOU Can Help
April 16-30: #SafeTogether online fundraiser
The need for support for our shelter and services, especially our Aftercare Program participants is just as critical as ever, even more so during a pandemic. Highlighted in several publications including Huffpost, Twin Cities Pioneer Press, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Jezebel, domestic violence victim/survivors and recent shelter residents are at a high risk of loss of wages, social and program support, and reentering the cycle of violence during a crisis as “staying home” may present its own challenges.
From April 16-30, Women’s Advocates encourages our supporters to start Facebook or GiveMN fundraiser pages to benefit Women’s Advocates via a campaign titled #SafeTogether. Funds raised will directly benefit our Aftercare Program and rent support for survivor families who have recently left our shelter. This is a vulnerable time for our Aftercare Program participants, made even more risky with social distancing from support like family, friends and social programs.
Additionally very specific in-kind donations are needed urgently- see graphic above for details to follow to be compliant with the COVID19 restrictions. Thank you!
