CHALLENGE #40-2021 is complete!
The Haven
Houma, LA is a community of about 33,000 and is located Southwest of New Orleans. They received damage when Hurricane Ida hit the area. Among other things, the shelter received roof damage, they lost 5 refrigerators/freezers and received other damage as well.
If you do not want to have to worry about shipping costs but would like to contribute to this challenge, gift cards are welcome so that shelters can select supplies they need. The Haven has requested gift cards from Walmart, gas cards and Visa cards.
CHALLENGE #39-2021
Tundra Women's Coalition
The Tundra Women's Coalition is located in Bethel, a community of about 6,500 residents in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta area of Alaska. In 1978 the first shelter was opened in a renovated quonset hut. In 2009 they received a grant to build a new state-of-the-art shelter.
An anticipated 20% cut in their federal funding in the near future will mean a significant loss in services.
The winters are long and hard in Alaska. Let's send warm and toasty slippers to warm lots of toes and hearts! We upped the numbers so they will have enough to last all winter.
If you do not want to have to worry about shipping costs but would like to contribute to this challenge, gift cards are welcome so that shelters can select supplies they need. Tundra Women's Coalition has requested Amazon cards only due to their remote location and limited local stores.
