Safe Haven of Tarrant County

March 4, 2010 for our RS Qtrly Activity we did several service projects to celebrate the birthday of the organization of Relief Society. One of the service projects was collecting items for the Safe Haven of Tarrant County. This is a place for battered women and their children, and when they leave this place to make a new start for themselves they are given a basket (I'm assuming a laundry basket because of the list of items they say that they give them) full of items to help them get started. It includes bedding, towels, kitchen supplies, personal hygiene items, cleaning supplies etc. We told the sisters what the home said that they needed and then told them if they wanted to donate any of these items they could bring them to the activity! I was wow'd and amazed at all that every one brought! When the items were taken to the Safe Haven place, the woman that we had been talking with was in a meeting so her assistant came out to help bring in what we brought so that wasn't as much fun....but still the assistant said, "oh, wow, there's a lot of stuff here!" So that was neat! Here are some pictures of taking the items to Safe Haven of Tarrant County.
