PALMER, ALASKA
No More Mat-Su is an adult-student coalition to end domestic violence and sexual assault in the Valley. The focus is on prevention strategies - teaching about healthy relationships based on respect, consent, kindness, caring, and fun for upstream change!
The staff at the shelter said "they will be happily awaiting the deliveries as they come in. It's always a little like a holiday when we get a mystery package in the mail."
With winter coming let's make sure the slippers we send are thick and warm.
