Marco Island Police Department collects for The Shelter

 

On Dec. 15, the Marco Island Police Department presented the Shelter for Abused Women & Children with over $1,000 in gift cards.

“The Shelter is an integral part of our community and we consider them part of our family,” said Police Chief Al Schettino.  “I’d like to thank everyone for generously donating during this holiday season to this worthy cause.”

The Shelter for Abused Women & Children provides assistance to victims of human trafficking and domestic violence throughout Collier County, including Marco Island.  The Shelter assists more than 1,100 child victims and survivors of domestic violence annually through safety, intervention and direct support. More than 68,500 children, women and men (as well as their pets) have been assisted by The Shelter since 1989.
