Hello everyone,
When you're shopping this Christmas, you can help women in the shelter. First, there are a number of on-going needs women fleeing their households have. You can see them anytime by looking at the bar on the right side of this page. For a couple of years a nonprofit was supplying some basic items, but it shut down, so now the shelter is back to buying them again.
Also, this year you will note that many online retailers have free shipping. You can take advantage of this to send needed items to the shelter.
Generally, they are as follows:
Childrens' clothes and coats (always in short supply, and cheaper to mail than adult clothes)
Sheets, blankets and towels, but towels especially
Women's clothes, mostly size M to XXL
Women's sanitary items
Shampoo and conditioner, toothbrushes and toothpaste
Sweat pants
Gently used clothes are welcome.
Of course, you can also send monetary donations. We cannot use a ChipIn this year because of staff turnover and confusion about how to get a new PayPal account going. So, you can send checks to this address:
Pretty Bird Woman House
211 N. First St
McLaughlin, SD 57642
If you like to shop online, I encourage you to go to the right side of the page and click on iGive. Participating companies (and there are hundreds) will donate a percentage of your purchase to the shelter. There are also coupons and good deals.
