Shop for School Kids at SafeHouse
Each week children find shelter at SafeHouse Center. While their mothers work with SafeHouse Center advocates and counselors, the children try to go on with their lives. Many of them need to continue going to school. Often their possessions, including school supplies, have had to be left behind. You can help by assembling backpacks to be given to children as they enter the shelter.
