Story
There are more than 1,800 homeless women living in Spokane each day. Meeting their basic needs can be a struggle for VOA's Hope House and Transitions' Women's Hearth. Imagine not having access to bras, underwear and personal hygiene items due to poverty and homelessness. Physiology and biology are facts of life and women shouldn't be punished because of it.
You can help!
We are collecting collect monetary donations through this page, and also bras, underwear, deodorant, razors, tampons and 2-hour bus passes for women experiencing homelessness in Spokane and accessing services at Women's Hearth (day-time drop-in women's center) and/or Hope House (overnight women's shelter). Check out this video for Hope House and this video for Women's Hearth.
Please schedule a drop-off via email at ewupsecommunications@gmail.com with Aly Rode or Brooke Nicholson by Friday March 4th for any items you purchase and we'll bring the donations over to the Drive-Thru Drop-Off on Saturday, March 5th, between 10am and 2pm, at the new Hope House (318 South Adams).
All monetary donations will be split equally between Hope House and Women's Hearth; all in-kind donations will be used to help these and other programs of Volunteers of America and Transitions.
