Helping Hands, Helping Others

Each month, the VanDevere Employees select a local charity to support as a way of giving back to the communities in which we live and conduct business.  This month, we are supporting The Battered Women’s Shelters of Summit and Medina CountiesThese shelters play a vital role in providing hope to victims of domestic violence.  We are doing our part by donating items the shelters need to continue offering a safe and healthy environment for families who have chosen a violent-free life.  Please feel free to join us by donating any of the items listed below:

  • Cleaning Supplies:  laundry soap, dryer sheets, fabric softener, bleach, dishwashing liquid, 30 gallon trash bags, tall kitchen trash bags, 60 watt light bulbs, deodorizers…
  • Paper Products:  toilet tissue, kleenex, paper towels, paper plates, napkins, plastic silverwear…
