Roses are red, violets are blue, buy a rose for your sweetie and help out a stranger, too. Valentine’s Day is just over a week away. Show the lady love of your life how much you love her by purchasing a candy rose from The Place at the Lake. The money raised from rose sales will go towards helping victims of domestic violence in Benton County.
From now through Valentine’s Day, various Benton County stores, restaurants and shops will be selling these special candy roses for just $3.50 each. The Place at the Lake came about due to the fact that the state of Missouri didn’t have enough shelters to adequately help the thousands of victims of abuse each year. They provide a 24/7 crisis hotline (866-374-9044), temporary shelter for emergency cases, a monthly support group and broadcast a monthly radio show offering helpful advice. Their thrift store, PALS Treasures, operates out of Lincoln, MO. All proceeds from the store’s sales go towards funding The Place at the Lake’s Domestic Violence Shelter. If you’re interested in donating food, clothing, furniture, etc, please drop them off at the thrift store or contact The Place at the Lake at (660) 547-2611.
