Domestic violence cuts across all social, racial, educational and economic lines with no exceptions.
This month you may share your Giving Box contribution with the Elkhart County Women's Shelter. The shelter, a program of Family Services, offers crisis intervention, a safe environment, counseling, emotional support, and a children's program to aid families escaping from domestic violence. Just recently the shelter opened a new addition, doubling its housing capacity. Again there will be a men's chorus formed to sing at the Michiana Relief Sale. The goal is to have at least 100 men under the direction of Darrel Hostetler.
