Two items checked off the wishlist!
The Amata Transition House Society is a non-profit organization that provides a confidential, non-judgmental and safe place for women and their children. Trained staff is available 24 hours a day to provide information and referral services, support, advocacy and emergency housing needs. It's vision is of "a society free from violence of any form, where individuals achieve their potential with all the support they may require."
We discovered they haven't had new furniture in their communal living room in years and that they also had a need for a new laptop computer. Such things are not included in their ongoing funding so we approved a $3,200 grant so they could acquire both. President Tim Hall presented our grant cheque to Amata's Becky Jacques on 23rd September.
We thank City Furniture & Appliances and Quesnel Computer Guys for providing generous discounts.
