DASACC Women's Shelter in Washington

Wondering if anyone stills keeps contact with the Woman's Shelter? I tried to find the old thread and was not successful. Also can' t remember the poster who had organized something for them at Christmas.

Hi Guys, it looks like my original post was removed so I'll add on here. (I apologize in advance if I broke a rule, moderators please let me know) We are currently taking a collection and running a fundraiser to renovate the playroom at the DASACC. If anyone would like to participate, please PM me. Thanks you!

Tara just wondering if there is a "GoFundMe" or similar site that is being set up in case anyone wants to donate for the Playroom that way?

Hi Jrzy! No there isn't one, but I can ask the director if the would have a problem with us setting one up. I think it's a fabulous idea. I'll let you know later on today. I'm just excited that after months of red tape it's finally happening! If anyone has any questions, please don't hesitate to pm me.

Michelle, are these items a continuous need? We just moved so things are still in boxes and chaos, but I know I have many kitchen items and curtains that I am more than willing to part with once things settle down.

have you got any of these things that are in good shape - these families have been through so much - that getting something new or very gently used will feel good -
as I mentioned previously, I will be making a run there one day this week ( they have no storage so they only want deliveries as things are going back out) If you want me to take something, please message me --- and Thank You Bessie and Jrzy Girl for the items I've already delivered...............
