Mrs. Keiper and her criminal justice students from Knox High School volunteered their time today to come and clean up around the shelter. We are all so grateful for their generosity and hard work! Our clients are excited to get outside with their babies and enjoy their clean yard! Thank you so much Mrs. Keiper and students!!

Our abuse shelter has a new family arriving VERY soon starting over with almost nothing, and right now there’s a huge need for support.
We’re collecting:
Baby/children items- diapers (multiple sizes from size 1 and up),wipes, formula, bottles, babywash, kids/baby blankets, crib sheets, toddler sheets and bed sets gently used baby kids clothes
Furniture- high chairs, shelves, washer and dryer, and other pieces that would help our families get settled as they transition into safe housing.
Other items- twin/queen bed sheets, hygiene products, cleaning supplies, vacuum, broom, mop, toiletries or anything else you can think of that would be a basic need

This is an urgent need, as our new family will hopefully be here within a week.

Call or message Brianna Elam 219-776-8338 for drop off details

Thank you for supporting families who are working so hard to create a safe new beginning. We are so grateful!
