Food Pantry days are generally busy days. Today is no exception. The church that donates space to us distributes food on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month. Thanksgiving is just around the corner.
With the holidays approaching it's a sad time to be poor and an even worse time to be a domestic violence victim. The women we see have the least amount of resources to fall back on. We're here to hand out information about domestic violence and to reassure them that it's not impossible.
Often, they give me a look that says "easy for you to say". And they're right. It is easy to say. I just wish it was easy to do! But, when I see women succeed after abuse or hear from a woman online who is living violence free, it makes it easier to offer hope to others.
So no, it's not impossible. You can do it!
