URGENT UPDATE: The Discovery Shoppe League has just announced a pivotal donation of $25,000 to support a local domestic violence shelter in Chico, California. This generous contribution will directly fund the installation of playground equipment aimed at creating a safe and healing environment for children impacted by trauma.
Just moments ago, volunteer Janice Keating presented the check to Catalyst Prevention Outreach Program Manager Sarah Sullivan-Avery and Executive Director Anastacia Snyder. This initiative is critical, providing a necessary sense of normalcy for young survivors and encouraging physical activity through durable and safe equipment.
The Discovery Shoppe, operating since 1959 and located at 315 Flume Street, is entirely volunteer-run. Every dollar raised supports community efforts, with the organization having awarded over $165,381 to 16 charities this year alone. This latest donation underscores their commitment to local charities and enhancing the wellbeing of children in need.
As this story develops, community members are encouraged to share their support for this initiative. The playground will serve as a crucial resource in helping children heal and thrive, turning trauma into a pathway for recovery.
Stay tuned for more updates on this impactful project and how it will shape the lives of those affected by domestic violence. The Discovery Shoppe invites the public to visit their location and learn more about their ongoing efforts to uplift the community.
