Caring community provides great holiday

We at the Snohomish County Center for Battered Women would like to thank the endless community support received during this past holiday season. Thanks to a loving and caring community, all of our clients and their precious children enjoyed a wonderful time filled with joy, respect and honor.

The residents of the shelter and transitional housing program had beautiful packages and yummy treats for themselves and their families. Each mom was able to give her children gifts from a selection of incredible toys and fabulous new clothing. To round out the season, gift cards were given to each family to assist them with their necessary needs.

On behalf of the many families we serve, a thank you seems inadequate. Each community voice and hand that assisted this season touched the hearts of many beautiful people.
