As the new year begins, many people are decluttering and donating unwanted items to local charities. Safe Haven of Pender, a non-profit aiding domestic violence victims, has experienced an increased influx of donations. The organization's thrift store, a major revenue source, is bustling, leading to a need for more volunteers, especially for donation processing. Safe Haven emphasizes the dual impact of donations, providing affordable clothing to the community while funding crucial resources for their cause.
