CHALLENGE #24 - 2018

THE CRISIS CENTER OF TANEY COUNTY
Branson, Missouri

****CHALLENGE COMPLETED****

 “Let’s Make A Difference Together” - quote from their website

The Crisis Center incorporated as a not-for-profit agency in August of 1990 for the purpose of providing safe shelter, support and advocacy for victims of domestic and sexual violence and their children.  With local community support, a shelter house was purchased in late 1993 and opened in 1994.  Due to the overwhelming increase in clientele from 1994 to 1996, the shelter house was converted to office space and, mid 1996, the Crisis Center began using motel placement as the chief means of sheltering victims of domestic abuse. Due to the large need for service, the Crisis Center acquired property in 2001 and now has an actual shelter for victims of domestic and sexual violence.  The Crisis Center can shelter up 40 women and children at one time.  They also have a pet program in place and we will be doing a COZIES FOR PETS, also.

Here is what we would like to provide to this shelter: 

SLIPPERS & WASHCLOTHS:

   50 Women’s - DONE
     5 Men’s/Teen Boys - DONE
   10 Preteen Girls - DONE
   10 Preteen Boys - DONE
