Stuff the Box with donations for Harbor House Domestic Violence Shelter
The Stuff the Box campaign helps gather personal hygiene items, cleaning supplies, clothing basics, household items and direct service gifts to help the children and women who come to Harbor House with literally nothing but the clothes on their back. In the past year, Harbor House provided nearly 11,211 days in shelter for 111 survivors and 123 children escaping domestic violence.
