The Caring Place Named as Partner with this Year’s Listen To Your Mother

CaringPllaceLogoA vital part of Listen To Your Mother’s mission includes financially contributing to a local non-profit organization that supports women and families in need. Each of the 24 cities will partner with a local cause and donate 10% of gross ticket proceeds & raise awareness at their local shows. LTYM: Northwest Indiana is proud to announce that we are again partnering with The Caring Place for the 2013 season!

The Caring Place provides service and shelter for women & their children who are victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. They have a recovery program in collaboration with Porter-Starke Services to help women suffering from addiction. An Emergency Response Volunteer program is also in place to assist victims of rape through the initial stages of trauma at a hospital. The Caring Place educates the community on domestic violence and sexual assault, teen dating violence and workplace violence. All of their services are confidential and free of charge. The Caring Place does have opportunities available for volunteers and you can see their donation wish list here.

The shelter is in need of baby wipes and cleaning disinfectant wipes, so we will be collecting those the night of Listen to Your Mother: Northwest Indiana! Please bring wipes to the show on Friday May 10th and look for The Caring Place donation box at the entrance.

Get your tickets to the show online [with a convenience charge] or call Memorial Opera House box office at 219-548-9137.
