We are teaming up with West Crossing this year to help an organization called Breaking Free. Currently, they offer free of charge, a woman's shelter in Anna and a men's shelter in Van Alstyne. Their programs help people who are hurting from drug or alcohol addiction get free in order to have hope for a future and to see their families restored. It's a Christian oriented program and they try to work getting the young men and women back on their feet. They have to work for their shelter and attend classes. Breaking Free Inc. is a 501 (C) 3 non-profit church organization.
We will be accepting donations until Saturday, December 19th, 2015. Donations can be made at 2121 Mulberry Drive or we can also pick up donations.
Below are a few suggestions for donations:
