Thank you University of Virginia

I just want to thank the University of Virginia Women's Center for the fund drive they will be doing throughout February. Here is the announcement from their website:

Women's Shelter Drive
Feb. 8 through 22.
Pretty Bird Woman House is the only women's shelter on the Sioux Standing Rock Reservation in McLaughlin, S.D., that helps victims of sexual assault and domestic violence. Because it is always at maximum capacity, the shelter is constantly in need of supplies. Amnesty International, SAPA, and the U.Va. Women's Center will be running a supply drive in February. We are collecting, among other things, towels, bed sheets and blankets, toiletries, toys, clothing, and money. The drive will be taking place in February, but please start collecting these items now. E-mail us for more information or visit the shelter’s Web site.

I've been through the donations, so if anyone wants to focus on something, they could especially use towels, sheets and blankets (twin, queen for the shelter itself), and babies' and children's clothes. However, all donations are appreciated. At this point, they have gotten enough adult clothes to be able to offer women who are in dire need the opportunity to get clothing, in addition to the shelter residents.
