Survivor Poetry
No excuses
No lies
There’s tears in my eyes
But I’m through
It hurts to leave
But I cannot stay
Nothing left to do
Nor anything to say
I know it’s hard now
But it’ll be better one day
No excuses, no lies
There’s tears in my eyes
But I’m through
- A Strong Woman
Help RCC “Stock the Shelter!”
Imagine having 25 houseguests over for the holidays and needing to stock your home with the necessities such as paper towels, toilet paper, and cleaning supplies for their visit. Now imagine the shopping list if your 25 guests lived with you permanently. You can all imagine how quickly you would go through your stock of house supplies!
Keeping the RCC shelter stocked with necessary house supplies is a continuous task for our staff. So throughout the month of March, we are asking the Galveston County community to relieve some burden by contributing to our monthly shopping list.
You can contribute to the “Stock the Shelter” Drive in one of three ways: 1)
make an individual donation of goods to RCC, 2) host your own Stock the Shelter
drive at your place of work, church, or just amongst your friends and family,
or 3) make a monetary donation to the organization in lieu of donated goods.
We are in need of items such as paper towels, toilet paper, household cleaners, laundry detergent, etc. For a complete list of needed items, please follow this link: Stock the Shelter
If you would like more information about the “Stock the Shelter” Drive or would like to donate items, please contact Samantha Coats at 409-443-0511. Thank you for your support!
