Coastal Bend Day of Giving…TODAY, November 17, 2009!!!

I am passing along a call for donations to the Women’s Shelter of South Texas.   They were chosen as one of the foundations to receive a 100% match on all donations received today.   Your donation goes directly to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault so they can receive free services to improve their life and the lives of their families. Be an active part in the movement to end the epidemic of domestic and sexual violence, give adult and child victims the hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Here are how donations at various giving levels benefit the Women’s Shelter of South Texas:
 
·         $5 provides a healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner for a mother and her three children staying in our shelter for one day.
 
·         $25 educates 44 youth about the dangers of dating and sexual violence in our community through our primary prevention programming.
 
·         $100 allows a child or adult domestic violence or sexual assault victim to receive 4 ½  sessions of one on one counseling with a licensed counselor on our staff.

To get involved and donate, simply go to www.coastalbenddayofgiving.org.   Look for the “Donate Now” button and select the Women’s Shelter of South Texas as the agency you would like to support.
