Chase Bank is presenting The Family Place Partners Cards Oct. 29th-Nov. 6th which saves customers 20 percent on all shopping at various venues throughout the DFW metroplex.
The Family Place, founded 27 years ago, is a facility that offers a haven for domestic violence victims in Dallas, TX.
With the purchase of a $60 Partners Card cardholders participate in a shopping extravaganza and at more than 650 retail stores. All proceeds from card sales benefit The Family Place, the city’s largest family violence agency.
The Family Place’s mission is to eliminate family violence through intervention, prevention, and resources.
You can also learn to cook like a pro with the Texas Ranger Cookbook which is donating proceeds from each $25 sale of each book to The Family Place and Second Harvest. Donations can also be made online.
On The Family Place’s website there are numerous stories from thankful former clients such as Donna who wrote, “Tonight when I go to bed I’ll be thankful” and Yolanda who said, “I entered the Supportive Living Program during the holidays of 2002 and your donations helped make my first Christmas with my child a very special one that I will never forget.”
The Family Place also has auxiliaries such as The Family Place Partners, a women’s auxiliary and Helping Hands for The Family Place. Volunteers donate their time and you can donate items from the Place’s wish, organize a donation drive, “adopt” a family, or provide gifts for various holidays.
Monetary donations help provide diapers, milk, bus passes, telephone lines, medical supplies, emergency shelter care, and other items. A Child Development Center is located on the campus of the Place and the Place also provides counseling for children living there. In 2004 the Emergency Shelter Program provided food, housing, counseling, and other services to 1,000 women and children.
Those not need shelter but wanting counseling can take advantage of The Family Place’s Outreach Counseling Program. All services are available in Spanish and English.
The Family Place is always looking for former clients and volunteers to share their stories and they have an extensive Speaker’s Bureau and quarterly newsletter.
