Stay Safe – Click Away!
Elizabeth Rose Ministry collects, stores and redistributes a wide variety of donated home goods, in the name of Jesus, to women and their children as they escape domestic violence for relocation. Ministry volunteers gather stored items, assist women and children in moving and setting up their apartments and help the women decorate bare spaces to transform them into places of comfort and safety. We provide encouragement to women through phone calls, personal contact and by helping them acclimate to their new environment and find support in their communities.
This year’s fundraiser is going toward purchasing ventilation fans for storage barn, study Bibles for our ladies and mattresses. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated and wisely used.
Thank you.
