Gulf Coast Center for Nonviolence in urgent need of items

Gulf Coast Center for Nonviolence is in urgent need of items for their family shelter.

The center’s domestic violence program provides 24-hour, 7 day per-week crisis intervention services for men, women, and children who are victims of domestic violence, human trafficking, and sexual assault.

Housing so many people requires the shelter to have to stock up on items. They are looking for laundry detergent, socks, sheets, and soap just to name a few items. GCCFN Communications Director Rene Davis said, “We have thousands of people that we work with every year. So, that means providing not only shelter, but three meals and snacks everyday and personal items and bedding and then whenever they are prepared to move out of our shelter, we help them with things like housing and helping them to get set up in a new home. So, it requires a lot. We don’t have a great deal of storage space. So, we have a constant need to replenish our stock.”

Those interested in donating can go to Gulf Coast Center for Nonviolence Facebook page and click on their Amazon link or drop goods off at 213 Porter Avenue in Biloxi.
