Thanks for visiting my Hot Chocolate Run fundraising page! On December 2, I'm running in this year’s Hot Chocolate Run. This event raises funds for Safe Passage, the organization addressing domestic violence in Hampshire County.  Safe Passages offers essential support, shelter, counseling, and resources for survivors, children, and families affected by domestic violence. 
 
Please make a donation to support Safe Passage and my run!  Safe Passage relies on support from people like you and I to fund their programming--including an emergency shelter program, individual counseling and support groups, legal services, a 24-hour hotline and more.  This support from individuals is especially important in a political climate in which domestic violence shelters and services have experienced funding cuts.  Services are expensive, and you can help provide them:

$20: Emergency funds for a woman to purchase groceries or diapers
$45: A one-hour counseling session for a woman seeking help for the first time
$80: One weekly drop-in group session for survivors of domestic violence
$100: An hour of ASL interpreting for a deaf survivor's counseling session
$135: Three sessions for children who have witnessed domestic violence

All contributions are tax-deductible, and you’ll receive an emailed receipt immediately after you donate.

Thank you so much for your support!  If you want to register for the event or learn more about it, visit http://hotchocolaterun.com.  I hope you'll donate and come cheer me on!
