of the fi nancial pressure from these domestic abuse shelters.” The Junior League of Honolulu is a women’s organization that works to improve communities through volunteer work. The organization admits new members twice per year, and the current new group of approximately 30 women must create a service project as a requirement for admission. The new members decided to focus their project on serving domestic violence shelters after one new member, Marci Lopes, educated them about budget cuts and the conditions many women face when entering a shelter. Lopes is the program director for all of O‘ahu’s domestic abuse shelters, and is in charge of visitation services. The group’s goal is to raise a minimum of 1,000 pillows, which will be enough to sustain O‘ahu domestic abuse shelters for one year. “We just really want people to come by, even if they can only donate one pillow,” said Schwarz.
