Funds raised by PEARR go to Women In Distress of
Broward County, Inc., the only state certified,
nationally accredited, full-service domestic violence
center in the county. Women In Distress provides
victims of domestic abuse with a 24-hour hotline,
shelter, counseling, and educational programs.
As part of our activities to benefit Women In Distress of Broward County, Inc., PEARR is proud to present its new Adopt A Shelter project.
Overview
Adopt A Shelter (ADAS) will be a coordinating committee between the volunteer organizations that offer their services to nonprofit organizations and applying those services to benefit our residents’ stay at the shelters. Even though this project was launched in early 2007, we have already achieved the following:
- Mother's Day party for residents and their children with hot buffet lunch, flower bouquets for Moms and goodie bags. See photos!
- Valentine’s Day party for residents and their children.
- Spring Dinner offered by students of Johnson and Wales Culinary School (see photo).
- Easter Baskets for children at the shelter donated by Banana Republic employees.
- Exterior furniture donation by a private donor.
- Painting of Interior and Exterior shelter walls by American Express employees and our own ADAS committee member, Ellen Baker.
- Painting of shelter doors by Dimension Data employees.
