Santa exchange goes to Sheriff King
December 15, 2008
The team at Xpan traded in the idea of a Christmas gift exchange for a chance to raise funds for the YWCA Sheriff King Home. In total $325 was donated and a number of teddy bears were added to the mix as added comfort for women and children fleeing domestic violence.
The YWCA Sheriff King Home is a 38-bed/21-day stay emergency shelter that provides shelter, food, individual & group counselling, follow-up services and referrals at no cost to women and children fleeing domestic violence. The immediate goal of the shelter services is to move the family out of the crisis state to feel safer and calmer. Donations provide direct opportunities for women and children to stabilize their lives and move from crisis to economic stability and healthy life choices, through many programs and services.
