I know the Pee Dee Coalition very well, and they do amazing work.
They are always looking for donations of consumable products such as diapers,personal hygiene items, bathroom tissue, cleaning items, and food! Most of the women that are at the shelter leave the abusive home with small children and the clothes on their backs…literally. All help is appreciated.
If anyone wants to help or needs help themselves, contact them, and they can steer you in the right direction.
How refreshing and even assuring that domestic violence is no longer laughed about and the butt of jokes.
