exciting things are happening at Safelight

Charity Matters
By Diane Tokarski
We couldn’t be happier for Safelight! On
February 29th, Safelight was awarded a
$100,000 grant from the John William Pope
Foundation for the purpose of expanding its
commercial kitchen in the Dandelion
Restaurant. The grant enables Safelight the
opportunity to enlarge its current culinary skills
training program for its clients as well as
providing Spotlight funds to expand its current
catering program. Kudos to Safelight!
The March 29th Scavenger Hunt is coming up
soon, and we have been given an update on
a few other items that Safelight can use. Here
is a complete list:





New and gently used vacuum cleaners
Toilet paper, paper towels and facial
tissue
Feminine products, particularly pads
(not ultra-thin)
Similac Advance baby formula
Food items that kids enjoy, i.e.,
Spaghettios, pasta and quick meal
items. Often times, clients don’t have
money when they arrive at the shelter
and the items on hand may not be what
the children like.
We will be collecting the above-mentioned
items at our March 29th Scavenger Hunt, to be
held at Cummings Cove.
~~~~Before the Scavenger Hunt begins, please
bring your items to my van in the Cummings
Laresa Griffin and possibly Tanya Blackford of
Safelight will be stopping by at the luncheon
after the Scavenger Hunt to say hello to
Welcome Club members. They are so very
appreciative that Safelight has been selected
as Welcome Club’s 2016 charity.
Upcoming events for Safelight:
Wednesday, April 6 – A Celebration of
Courage Luncheon- Kenmure Country Club –
12:00 Noon- 2 pm
$75.00/ticket $45 OF THE TICKET COST IS TAX
DEDUCTIBLE – Tickets can be purchased
through Safelight by calling 828.693.3840. This
program will be presented by Park Ridge
Health. The guest speaker at the luncheon will
be Tonier Cain, author of Healing Neen. She
will speak about her healing and recovery from
a childhood of physical and sexual abuse,
addiction and incarceration and also what
was on the other side of all that trauma:
happiness, success, health and healing.
October, 2016 – Walk-a-Mile in Her Shoes Date to be determined
An awareness event, bringing the community
