Over the past two years, federal funding has been tremendously cut for Options, Inc., but the need for the services they provide have continued to grow. The shelter is in desperate need of paper products such as toilet paper and paper towels. These items are needed to continue providing emergency shelter to victims and survivors of sexual assault, human trafficking, domestic abuse, and those who find themselves homeless.
“We are asking for your support,” said Executive Director Danna Carpenter. “We appreciate your donations, big or small. It will be used to provide support to victims and survivors within our community.
If you would like to donate paper products, there is a drop box located inside Monticello Coffee Company. You can also contact Options at 870-460-0684.
