Greetings!
As March comes to an end, we are so grateful for our community's advocacy for survivors of domestic violence over International Women's Day, raising funds and awareness through multiple events.
With your commitment to supporting survivors of domestic violence comes our commitment to offering the best possible services
to the women and children in our residential programs.
As such, we have made the decision to
increase MSP's focus on providing trauma-informed survivor-centered services
to the women and children who live in the Shelter,
and transitioned the operation of our Hotline to the DC Victim Hotline.
Going forward, MSP will discontinue handling hotline calls, and all calls to our hotline number will be directly routed to the DC Victim Hotline (1-844-443-5732). The change was made to improve Hotline services through the expertise and superior technology available through the DC Victim Hotline.
We encourage you to
read our FULL PRESS RELEASE
here.
Lastly, we are excited to share information about our
new partnership with the Schlow Restaurant Group.
The Schlow Restaurant Group is
hosting a benefit at Tico DC on June 24th
for My Sister's Place with top DC chefs competing to create the best tacos, and guest judges, including Ari Shapiro from NPR's All Things Considered. Event details are below, and
all proceeds will benefit My Sister's Place
. Tickets will sell fast, so get them now!
We wish you a happy and healthy Spring, and look forward to sharing continued growth with you in the months to come.
Warmly,
The My Sister's Place Team
