C an you The YWCA SafeChoice Domestic Vio lence Shelter in Vancouver, Wash, is run ning dangerously low on food to give to women and children staying in the shelter. SafeChoice serves victims of domestic violence by providing a 24-hour crisis line, a shelter, a children's advocacy program, legal advocacy, counseling, support groups and community education. SafeChoice serves more than 3,000 victims of domestic violence and provides over 10,000bednights at the shelter annually. SafeChoice would appreciate any do nation of non-perishable goods including pastas, spaghetti sauce, soup, chili, canned meals, peanut butter, jelly, tuna, condi ments and cereals. The shelter could also use perishable items like frozen meats, dinners, milk, cheese, and eggs. The shelter is currently running at full capacity and the need for food is critical. While the holiday s often bring in a tremen dous number o f food donations, the shel ter experiences a decrease in food dona tions during the summer months. Many families enter the shelter with little more than the clothes on their backs. Dona tions can be dropped off weekdays be tween 9 a.m. and 5:30p.m . at the YWCA, 3609 Main Street, Vancouver, WA 98663.
