Dear Christine,

On behalf of the Houston Area Women’s Center, thank you for your donation of gifts to our annual Holiday Store. As you know, we conduct this opportunity each year for survivors of domestic and sexual abuse who are currently receiving services from us. Your generosity makes it possible for the to “shop” the store, choosing items that are personally selected and just right for their family members.

2009 has been a particularly challenging year for the Women’s Center and its clients. Demand for services has skyrocketed in almost every area and we have worked very hard to meet the needs of our community. Extra offerings, like the Holiday Store, are greatly appreciated as we work to help families create their own holiday celebration without additional financial burden. This is all made possible by generous donors, like you!

Sincerely,
Rebecca L. White
President and Chief Executive Officer
