"THANK YOU" LETTER RECEIVED FROM THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PROJECT, INC.

Rotarian Jon Adland received a "Thank You" letter from Cheli Curran, Executive Director/CEO of the Domestic Violence Project, Inc. dated September 16, 2019.  Ms. Curran writes:

 

"Dear Canton Rotary ~ Truly, I wish to tell you how much you are helping with your donations.  Each year, we communicate with over 4,000 people who are seeking help and healing for their trauma. And when they find help with us, the needs are great.  If you can imagine running a household for 50 people that might arrive with only a handbag, then you can imagine the costs involved. They include: lodging (rooms, electricity, heat, water, sewer), food, paper products, toiletries, cleaning supplies, clothing, shoes, counseling, child care, limited transportation and the list goes on.

 

We appreciate your generous In-Kind donation of "Purple Bags" to Domestic Violence Project, Inc. (DVPI) on 9/6/2019.  Donations like yours help support our commitment to providing emergency and support services to victims of domestic violence while promoting a common awareness of domestic violence issues.

 

We are thankful that you are contributing to support DVPI and the individuals we serve right here in Stark County.  Your help will enhance the opportunities we provide for offering practical solutions to tough issues.

 

For 40 years, generous friends like you have provided us with the resources to help families rebuild their lives. We cannot do it alone.  And on the note of saving costs on our end, if you would like to receive your receipts by email, I would be happy to arrange that.  You can check that off on your next donation form or please take a moment to email me with your address and I will enter it into your record. Warm regards, Cheli Curran"
