We received a Thank You note from Addie Goodman, the Development Director of Mary Lou's Place, the recipient of our December Social Ministry Project:

 

"Please accept my appreciation for your tremendous donation of gifts for the residents at Mary Lou's Place, a domestic violence shelter... What a wonderful way to share the spirit of the holiday season... As the women at the shelter work to create new lives free from violence and seek better opportunities for their families, being able to witness their happiness a new toy gives to her children, have something new to wear, and receive a personal gift such as a journal or frame can make such a difference. The first days of shelter are very difficult and our ability to provide every mother and child with a touch of happiness during the transition is truly critical to their success in our programs..."
