Fundraising Donations:
On occassion, we have events that are supported greatly by donations from the community. 100% of net proceeds from these campaigns goes to benefit victims of domestic violence. To learn more about these types of donations, you can call our front desk at 377.5690 or email our Development Director at stephanief@peacefulpaths.org.
Pop Up Thrift Store: Our Pop Up Thrift Store (Pre-Covid), is held 3-4 times per year and we sell surplus new and gently used donations after all client needs have been served. Great POP Up donations are items such as home decor, sporting goods, children's items, automotive, craft supplies, small furniture, holiday decor, etc. We don't sell clothing at POP UP unless new.
Power of the Purse Brunch: This event is held once a year to support our Economic Empowerment Program. One of the key components of this fundraiser is a high-end silent purse auction. We are always on the look out for donations of new or slightly used designer purses! Contact us if you have a purse you'd like to donate! stephanief@peacefulpaths.org
