Support the Fight Against Domestic Violence ! Community Volunteers Needed!

  CALLING VOLUNTEERS IN THE OZARK COMMUNITY AND THROUGHOUT CHRISTIAN COUNTY!  

     Want to make a difference?   Here is a right now and real time volunteer opportunity to make a difference in your community!  An Emergent need has arisen for individual or group volunteers to assist in the planned rebuild of the Christian County Family Crisis Center- “Freedom’s Rest” .     
   They are looking for help all this week through Sunday October 26^th and the location is just 8 miles from Springfield/ almost on the border of Greene/Christian County.  
 
   Freedom’s Rest is the only local haven and shelter serving all of Christian County.  This site is designed for victims of domestic violence to safely flee their situations and to obtain the help they need to get on their own two feet,  while being protected against further injury or harm from their assailants.
 
  The Crisis Center has obtained much needed funding and materials and now they desperately need willing VOLUNTEERS THIS WEEK THROUGH SUNDAY OCTOBER 26^TH  to assist in hauling materials, building walls,  plumbing, electrical, cement wall patching, yard work, painting, moving, and furniture assembly.  
    
     The goal is to  be completed for a grand reopening on 29 October, next Wednesday, so they can once again support the basic needs of those seeking immediate asylum from domestic violence situations. 
 
   If you can supply willing volunteers or some trade expertise for our community to restore services to those in need of safehaven from family violence throughout Christian County,    please contact the Ozark Chamber at 417 581 6139.
 
   Or you may call the Director of the Christian County Family Crisis Center (Currently Closed for remodel) Matthew Evans at (417) 773-5417 directly.  
 
  Please email volunteer@freedomsrest.org or call our office at 417-582-0344 to find out more or to let us know you are coming! 

Individuals, groups, churches, and everyone else of all ages are welcome to help "A New Beginning" become a reality!
