We all have a “wish list.” Typically it’s a list of wants, but for some, a “wish list” can consist of the most basic needs. For survivors of domestic violence spending time at a shelter for safety, it’s just that – needs such as soap, bedding or baby formula...everyday items that help survivors get from one day to the next. This October, in support of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, select Verizon stores in Illinois and Wisconsin are hosting “Wish List” collections for everyday items needed to serve survivors of domestic violence who rely on a shelter’s services.
