Boost from Local Love
The Dawson Place Child Advocacy Center in Everett has benefited from Local Love, a newly launched Amazon program to help nonprofits by bringing together service providers, vendors and volunteers to work on renovation projects. A total of 100 volunteers recently spent 10 days and used 150 gallons of paint to give the center a makeover. Dawson Place houses the experts, investigators and services needed to help child victims of sexual assault and abuse. Local Love on Monday released a video about the work done by Dawson Place. It can be viewed at http://bit.ly/1R9ER2F.
