Volunteers Needed For DVIS 'Joy Givers Program:' How You Can Help

Volunteers from Domestic Violence Intervention Services, DVIS, are looking for more people to help their Joy Givers Program.

How You Can Help:

You can offer your time and help wrap gifts that will go to 90 survivor families to open on Christmas.

"I put together an application and I asked the client, 'What makes you smile?' and the responses that we got are incredible,” Dawn Elmore, Volunteer Coordinator, said. “So many women were able to say I would like just make sure that my children are safe, or I would just like to know that they will get one thing that they really want for Christmas."

Elmore had volunteers like Barbara Abercrombie lend their gift-wrapping skills.

"Being here today giving back, wrapping these gifts, and seeing all these wonderful donations that DVIS has received to make Christmas easier on the families and just a little bit brighter,” Abercrombie said.

Elmore and Abercrombie have a lot to accomplish before Dec. 25, and they hope others will join.
