Every 3 months Tzu Chi volunteers prepare 50 care packages to local domestic violence shelterTzu Chi North Toronto Office volunteers visit Yellow Brick House -- a domestic violence shelter regularly to help sort and organize donated goods. Every 3 months Tzu Chi volunteers also prepare 50 care packages (large towels and small towels, toothbrushes, shower gels, shampoos, moisturizers and antiperspirants, and toothpastes etc.) to local domestic violence shelter to provide assistance to the survivors. This time 14 Tzu Chi volunteers also brought cleaning supplies and tools because they had received an emergency call from Yellow Brick House to help cleaning an domestic violence shelter's apartment at Aurora, this is due to sudden cancellation of cleaning company.
Most women at the shelter need at least 3-6 months to cope with their new lives after escaping with their children. Therefore every time a family moves out, a throughout clean again to welcome domestic violence survivors.
