Donate Valentine’s Day gifts to domestic violence program
Each year the Sudbury-Wayland-Lincoln Domestic Violence Roundtable (DVR) sponsors a Valentine’s Day Gift Drive to help make the day brighter for families who are not safe in their own homes. The families reside in shelters and transitional housing programs of three area domestic violence organizations: REACH Beyond Domestic Violence, The Second Step, and Voices Against Violence. The DVR gives each family member a bag of age-appropriate gifts to remind recipients that people care about them and support their decision to end abuse in their lives. A list of recommended donations can be found on the this Roundtable web page. There will be a basket for donations at the Wayland Public Safety Building (38 Cochituate Road at the intersection of Routes 20 and 27) from February 1-9.
Volunteers are welcome to join Roundtable members as they assemble the gift bags on Tuesday, Feb. 9 at 3 p.m. in the Community Meeting Room of the Wayland Public Safety Building. For further information, please email the DVR at infodvrt@gmail.com.
