In wake of budget funding cuts, Project Sanctuary benefit will be held September 7

MENDOCINO Co., 8/28/19 — Project Sanctuary, an organization which provides advocacy and support services for domestic violence survivors across Mendocino County, holds an benefit every year — but this year, the fundraising event has taken on a new importance, as the organization is facing cuts in grant funding of $160,000. These funds typically go to support programs including domestic violence assistance such as free counseling and legal advocacy, rape crisis support including a 24/7 crisis line, and transitional housing for survivors.

The annual “P.S., We Love You” event includes a seasonal summer dinner, a live auction hosted by Mendocino County Sheriff Tom Allman, and then music to close out the evening. The event takes place on September 7, at Barra of Mendocino, beginning at 5:30 p.m. Tickets at $70 and are available at the Mendocino Book Company. You can also learn more about the resources Project Sanctuary offers, as well as support them through a direct donation, on their website.
