In August 2017, Donna W led the effort to locate, refurbish and present usable basic furniture to people getting out on their own, as coordinated through the House of Peace (see https://houseofpeaceshelter.org/) shelter organization. The House of Peace group helps women and children escape domestic violence by providing secure temporary residences until families can stable long-term shelter. Fleece blankets were also made to give to the families to help them settle in.
