Quarter drive supports survivors with BEI
Of course you can give more than quarters, but Bakhita Empowerment Initiative is organizing a quarter drive between now and June 12 used to provide direct services to survivors of human trafficking. Why quarters? Well, for starters, almost everyone has a quarter to spare. And, also, BEI needs quarters to support survivors doing their laundry in hotels or laundromats. Want to give? Drop off you quarters with BEI on the St. Anthony Campus, or email donations@archlou.org.
