💜 HEY, COMMUNITY — WE NEED YOUR HELP! 💜

Sometimes, making a difference looks like something as simple as a bottle of shampoo, a roll of toilet paper, or a gallon of laundry detergent.

Our office is looking for donations of everyday essentials to help support survivors and families in our community. These items may seem small, but when someone is facing a difficult or unexpected situation, having these basic necessities can make a HUGE difference.

We are in need of new and unopened:
🧴 Shampoo & conditioner
🧼 Body wash
🧴 Deodorant
🧻 Toilet paper
🧻 Paper towels
🧺 Laundry detergent

We are also accepting grocery gift cards and gas gift cards to help families with immediate needs.

💜 Have a little extra? Donate it.
💜 Own a business? Consider hosting a collection drive.
💜 Can't donate right now? Sharing this post helps too!

Every item and every dollar helps us provide practical support, dignity, and a little bit of relief to people in our community when they need it most.

Thank you for showing up for survivors and families in our community!

📍 Donations can be dropped off at our office during regular business hours 8am-4pm Monday-Friday. Please reach out to us if you have questions about donating at 320-762-1995.

If you’ve ever thought “It’s not abuse because they didn’t hit me,” please read this. 🛑

Abuse isn’t just physical. It can look like constant put-downs, controlling your money, pressuring or forcing s*x, isolating you from friends, or using religion/spirituality to shame and control.

And it often follows a pattern that keeps people stuck—calm, tension building, an incident, then apologies or “love-bombing”… until it happens again. That cycle is designed to maintain power, not create change.

You don’t have to sort this out alone. Advocates, domestic violence agencies, and Family Justice Centers can help you safety plan and understand your options—including legal support. 💜

Have you ever noticed how control can hide behind “concern” or “love”? Share what you wish more people understood (or share this to help someone who needs it). 🧩
