Drop off your Drive by Donations for the Safehouse on October 24th

October 14, 2009 |

Make a Difference Day is October 24th.

We all want to help make a difference in the lives of others, but it is hard to give up a whole day of work to volunteer your time on a big project. If you are looking for a way to help others and do something that really matters, or a way to teach your children how it feels to help someone in need, here is something that you will want to take part in! Drive by Donations for The Montgomery County Safehouse, which serves women and children forced from their homes by domestic violence, by providing them emergency shelter and other services.

The Safehouse has an urgent need for personal hygiene items for the women and children, some of their greatest needs are toothpaste and toothbrushes, combs and soap, shampoo, deodorant; and anything for babies, especially diapers and baby wipes. Wash cloths and towels would be very welcome. Sheets and Blankets are always put to use. They can use any kind of cleaning supplies from floor cleaner to dish washing soap.

Cheryl Lyle, the services coordinator for the Safehouse would like to thank the community at large for the support they give year after year. “Public support helps the shelter concentrate on it’s mission of protecting the victims of domestic violence.”

The price includes the cave tour and hot chocolate or hot cider. Parking is free. You can park in the Dunbar Cave parking lot, or if that is full park at the Swan Lake Golf Course and walk to the visitor’s center. Tours leave the visitor’s center every 15 minutes. No reservations are required. Each person needs a flashlight – bring your own or rent one at the event. Each person must be able to walk on their own, including children, unfortunately the cave cannot be made handicapped accessible.
