Thanks to Our Community

Here at Spruce Run, we have a lot to be thankful for this month. A couple we’d like to highlight:

For the second year in a row, students from Unity College donated their Spring Break to do a service project for Spruce Run. This year they cleaned the shelter, did general repair work, constructed a structure in the back yard for residents who smoke, organized donations and supplies–and that’s just some of it! Thanks to the Unity folks for coming and doing so much helpful work!

Another generous contribution was made by the family of the late Sharon Jackiw. Sharon, a longtime friend of Spruce Run’s and a former Steering Committee member, passed away in November of 2009. Recently, her family generously donated many of her household items and furniture to Spruce Run. They will be given to families who use Spruce Run’s services and are in need. We are so grateful to Sharon for all that she did on behalf of battered women, and to her family for this gift.
