Make your Spring Cleaning Mean More! We’re collecting gently used women’s clothing, shoes, accessories (jewelry, purses, etc.) to support our newest community partner, Amy’s House! Bring your Spring/Summer clothing donations to the April 9th Luncheon to help support women & children who are survivors of abuse in our community. Please bring your items in bags – no hangers! Note: No children’s clothing or heavy boots/coats this round please. Let’s save the cold weather gear for our Winter drive.
The Lincoln County Coalition Against Domestic Violence (LCCADV) is a 501(c) (3) non-profit, organized in 1993 by citizens who were concerned about domestic violence issues. On January 9, 1995, their shelter, affectionately named Amy’s House after the local woman who inspired LCCADV into action, officially opened in a four-room former mill house, offering shelter, support services and assistance for 7-8 people. It was a safe haven for families displaced by violence and a transitional step until they could recover, heal, empower and make plans for their future.
At the end of 2023, Amy’s House moved in to a new near net zero energy efficient shelter (designed by several CREW Charlotte members!) that combines support services and increased their temporary housing capacity to approximately 40 women and children starting over to live a life free of abuse! Your donations will get taken to Amy’s Closet, where survivors get to “shop” for free for clothing items they need for work, home and play or will get resold to the public, to directly support these families.
The Coalition provides many support services to in-shelter and out-of-shelter clients in addition to safe shelter and food, but the core of the emergency service is Amy’s House. One resident said “this is a house of hope, love and peace…coming here has changed my life completely.”
