CHALLENGE #40 - 2019

RIVER HOUSE

Grayling, Michigan

***CHALLENGE COMPLETED***

River House has provided service to victims of domestic violence and

sexual assault since 1986. Quotes from residential clients: “It’s the first

place I have felt safe, stable and accepted.” “They were not only kind and

helpful, they gave me hope.” “It is a home. I am treated with kindness and

respect.”  River House also has a pet shelter so we will be sending pet

cozies for the service dogs they house.
