New Beginnings!!
The much anticipated announcement of
“The Move” is finally here! It is with great
pleasure to inform you that we have opened
our doors at our new shelter. Dreams do come
true!! Our Executive Director Jennifer Campbell
had a dream for a bigger shelter and it’s now a
reality. Our new shelter will be opening up
more possibilities than ever!! It is more
spacious and allows us to help more Domestic
Violence and Sexual Assault survivors in our
community. Our new facility will be able to
house 9 families at a time while offering more
confidential trauma based counseling services.
We would like to express our gratitude to all
within the community who made this possible.
Our new address is 212 West 11th. St. Berwick
PA 18603. Don’t worry, our hotline number
(570)759-0298 and email
beyondviolence@verizon.net remains the
same.
A Safe Place to Play
Special Thank you to Jacob Kubricki from Troop 300!! We are so thankful for all the hard work and dedication Jacob
put on renovating our playground and basketball hoop. Could you imagine your childhood without the memories of
playing outside on the playground? Just remember pumping your legs as hard as you could on the swings in an effort to
“fly” a little higher! No child should miss these opportunities and thanks to Jacob’s generous help, they will no longer
have to. This eagle scout project will be around for years to come to help provide a safe place for children to play.
Way to go Jacob!!
