Shelter House seeks donations for women, children

CRESTVIEW — Shelter House, a domestic violence shelter, seeks donations for summer assistance, as the facility reportedly sees a surge of clients this time of year.

Supplies needed include size 3-6 diapers, macaroni and cheese, liquid dish soap, canned tuna and chicken, peanut butter, jelly, soup, pasta sauces, toilet paper, paper towels and trash bags.

Donors can send items to these locations:

•290 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Crestview.

•102 Buck Drive, Fort Walton Beach.

•1846 U.S. Highway 90 W., Suite B, DeFuniak Springs.

Shelter House provides food and household products to women who have left abusive companions. Clients struggle financially but don’t qualify for other assistance.  

More women seek the shelter’s help during the summer because there’s less disruption of their children's schedules, a spokesperson said.

Call 243-1201 for more information.
