INTERVAL HOUSE PROJECT

Hi Everyone!

At each Stitcher’s Hideaway Retreat I’d like to offer every attendee an opportunity to help out the women and children of Interval House!

Interval House is the largest domestic violence organization in Connecticut.  They provide Crisis Counseling, Advocacy & Help in Courts, Children’s Programs, and an Emergency Shelter and Hotline. 

Their 20-bed shelter is available for abused women and children 24 hours-a-day, 365 days a year.  

After talking with two ladies who work there, I learned ways that we can help the women and children who come to their shelter.  Here are some of the items that they need on a regular basis (all items should be new):

• Pajamas - seasonal fabrics - all sizes (women & children)
• Slippers/Flip Flops - all sizes (women & children)
• Socks, fuzzy socks
• Toiletries
• Feminine products
• Plain t-shirts for children (ages 8 months to 18 years of age)

Full-size toiletry items are desired, but they will definitely be happy to take sample sizes, such as what comes with hotel guest rooms (those little shampoos, soaps, etc.).

Monetary donations may also be made on-line through their website:  http://Intervalhousect.org

I will gladly collect any items you might bring to a retreat and get them delivered to those in need at Interval House.

Thanks for all you do!
