HOMETOWN STRONG FEBRUARY 2021

Hometown Strong is a way for GTS as therapists and member of community to give back to the communities that we love and live in. Each month employees of GTS donates a portion of their paycheck and GTS rounds that amount up to make a donation to a local charity. Each staff member that donates to this fund is entered into a drawing and once per month we draw a staff member name.

Corinne Murphy, PTA chose Serenity, Inc of Mt. Home to receive the $1000.00 donation.

Our goal at Serenity Inc. is to help survivors of domestic violence heal and regain their personal strength and power. Since 1988, we have been bringing domestic peace to the families of Baxter and Marion Counties, in addition to the surrounding counties of North Central Arkansas by providing emergency shelter and advocacy services.

Since 2014, we are one out of very few shelters that allows pets. Today, Serenity employs 12 professionals and a dedicated group of over 40 volunteers who provide emergency shelter services, assistance with protection orders, and advocacy toward independence (housing, education, employment and healthcare), support group programs, and client transportation. Serenity operates two resale stores, offering clients goods free of charge and utilizing general sales income to support operations. Serenity’s Safe Shelter is located in Mountain Home and services both Baxter and Marion counties.
