Tea Time

The Mountain Peace Shelter is hosting its 2nd annual tea, Sunday, August 29, 3:00-5:00pm at Evergreen Lutheran Church at 5980 Hwy 73. This is a charming afternoon of tea, incredibly sinful snacks, music and sundresses.
Mountain Peace Shelter was founded in 1986 as the Park County Crisis Center. It provides shelter and resources for women and children seeking refuse from violent domestic situations. This is a private, nonprofit agency funded by grants and private donations. The number of women and children seeking refuse has increased over the last couple of years. Abuse is a complicated subject, it happens more often than you realize. It knows no economic barriers, one in three women will become a victim of domestic abuse. It takes courage for women to leave. They are often threatened with death and feel they have no place to go. Part of abuse is eliminating resources such as money and contact with family and friends. I cannot stress enough that this involves children living in a home environment of fear and pain, an environment that is teaching them this is how people treat other people. Mountain Peace Shelter offers a safe place and the tools and resources for a new start. Mountain Peace Shelter offers hope.
Sunday's tea is only $20.00, the price of a Sunday Brunch. This is a small investment with big returns. You are helping a woman, a child have a positive, productive life without fear.
