Members of the Hunterdon County Rug Artisans Guild collected clothing once again this holiday season at their meeting in December on behalf of several Hunterdon County charitable organizations.
The Guild coordinated its efforts with The Consignment Shop of Flemington for Victims of Domestic Violence, a nonprofit store that supports individuals and families in Hunterdon County.
Sandra DeSapio received the donations on behalf of the nonprofit Consignment Shop of Flemington for Victims of Domestic Violence, who thanked the Guild for its continuing support.
She said the items not only will be provided to SAFE in Hunterdon, which is dedicated to offering safety and supportive services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, but to Family Promise of Hunterdon County, Inc., which is dedicated to ending homelessness, and Fisherman’s Mark in Lambertville, which is providing ongoing responsive community programs and services.
“Our holiday clothing drive focuses on practical items needed by women and children at these shelters, such as new slippers, flannel pajamas and socks,” Robin Nissenfeld and Lisa Savino, guild co-presidents, noted. “Having a nice pair of slippers or new pajamas helps with the recovery process. Our generous members are pleased to support Hunterdon County’s charitable organizations in this manner.”
