This summer, we held a fundraiser for two local non-profits. One of them is Natalie's Sisters. They are an incredible group that serves women in the area. They particularly focus on sex-trafficked and sexually exploited women through a first-touch approach providing respite, relationship, and referrals to community resources. If you'd like to help them, they are currently looking for shoe, boot, and jacket donations ahead of winter. To learn more, visit their site: https://www.nataliessisters.org/
