Help! Betty’s Haven, the North Channel Coalition’s shelter for victims of domestic abuse, is in need of a self-propelled lawnmower and a commercial copier. The center has never had a mower, and currently depends on the good will of donors for upkeep of the premises. The copier will replace a 12-year-old model no longer working.
