For most people, a trip to the store before Thanksgiving is something they don’t think twice about. They make a list and try to avoid the crowds.
But for the women at Sheltering Wings, an emergency shelter for victims of domestic violence, it’s not something they take for granted.
“When they come in, they’re in crisis and there’s a lot of chaos in their life and this brings some stability and it gives them an opportunity that they couldn’t afford,” said Residential Services Director Linda Wells.
Excited as they were about the opportunity, for some of the women, it’s a little overwhelming at the same time.
