The items will be used for Assistance League’s “New Beginnings” program, which assists women and children in the transition from shelter to new home. Advocates for abuse survivors visit Assistance League’s facility in Bond Hill to gather items such as new bedding, cleaning supplies and other items needed to establish a safe and peaceful home away from abusers. The program has assisted 1,877 women and 1,832 children since 2010.
Assistance League also provided hundreds of clothing and hygiene kits each year to women impacted by domestic violence and assault. The kits are supplied to local law enforcement agencies, shelters and hospitals.
Major funding for the “New Beginnings” program is provided by the Haile Foundation, the Abbihl-Ahrens Cambridge Charitable Foundation, The Dally Foundation and the Spaulding Foundation.
