We hope to raise awareness, as well as raise funds and item donations to disperse equally between four transition houses. Often women and children flee their homes with only the clothes on their back and few important items to escape domestic violence. Transition houses are a temporary shelter to support women and their children in these times of crisis.<\/p>\n
The beneficiaries of our event include: Mission and Abbotsford Transition House on behalf of the Women\u2019s Resource Society of the Fraser Valley, Ann Davis Transition House on behalf of the Ann Davis Transition Society, and Wilma\u2019s House on behalf of the Xolohemet Society.<\/p>\n
Items Collecting:<\/p>\n
New Women and Children\u2019s Clothing (boys and girls, all sizes): winter clothes (gloves, scarves, mitts, toques, hats, etc) , T-Shirts, pants, maternity wear, unused undergarments and socks, pajamas, housecoats, shoes, boots, sandals, slippers<\/p>\n
