“I just wanted to give you my feedback on the sale- it was great!
I send my appreciation as well as the appreciation of
the three other DV/SA agencies to all of you and all of the people who donated
the clothes and toys. We have been able to supply many of our
clients with clothes and right now we even have a pregnant mom in
shelter who we have been able to supply many clothes and baby items as she is
due at the end of the month. I think all I can say is THANK YOU, THANK YOU,
THANK YOU!!! - Nikki G., S.A.F.E. Center
