Fundraiser by Helen
This fundraiser supports Purple 5K Dash to End Domestic Violence 2015
About This Fundraiser
We're running this 5K to raise awareness and critically needed funds to help provide a safe, comfortable emergency shelter for women and children seeking safe haven.
KAFSC's Rainbow House is one of the few culturally competent shelters capable of serving Korean/Asian victims of violence with sensitivity and fully comprehensive services. From Asian food, Asian faces and a familiar neighborhood, and familiar language - Rainbow House is truly like a "chinjung" ("Home where mother is") for those we serve.
