Running for Turkeys 2016
Donation protected
Jersey Women Strong, LLC is pleased to announce that Center for Hope and Safety (formerly Shelter Our Sisters) will once again be our charity for the Fall 2016 season. Last year, we raised over $4500 to directly purchase and deliver 100 Thanksgiving Day turkeys to Center families who have moved from the emergency shelter to transitional housing. This year we have committed to purchasing both the turkeys as well as 100 boxes of sides to complete the meal.
Center for Hope and Safety is Bergen County, New Jersey’s leading full-service 501c3 agency for victims of domestic violence and the only agency in Bergen County that provides emergency shelter. Their mission is to assist women and children who are victims of domestic violence, including emotional, economic, sexual and physical abuse. The agency provides emergency and transitional housing, emotional support, and a diversified continuum of services focused on safety, empowerment, and self-sufficiency. Through community partnerships, Center for Hope and Safety raises awareness, provides services, and educates community members about domestic violence.
One of the unique and special components of Jersey Women Strong, LLC's mission is our dedication to philanthropy. In addition to training for and racing in various events across the state and country, our team supports and participates in charitable outreach with local organizations by raising money, supplying items of need, and/or volunteering time.
For the 2016 holiday season, the turkeys and side boxes, available for clients in the transitional program, will be purchased directly by us. As in previous years, we will meet the delivery truck at the outreach center in Rochelle Park two days before Thanksgiving to help unload the turkeys. Each client receives a turkey and all the fixings to take home, so they can enjoy a complete meal with their families. Any remaining funds are used to purchase gift cards, which are distributed to transitional program children in December as part of their holiday gift-giving campaign.
How can you help?
Your $30 donation will purchase a complete Thanksgiving meal for a family in need.
Your $20 donation will purchase one Thanksgiving turkey for a family in need.
Your $10 donation will purchase one box of Thanksgiving sides for a family in need.
Donations in every amount will help make the holiday season brighter for so many families throughout Bergen County. Please join us in our effort to support the strong and resilient women of Center for Hope and Safety this fall and help us to reach our fundraising goal of $6000!
Thank you!
