Peaceful Gardens and Charitable Temples is a public charity, created to provide emergency services to men, women, and children who are international refugees of war and/or survivors of domestic violence. Our public charitable, religious organization provides healthy food, clothing, medicine, and/or temporary shelter. We are grateful to be morally supported, not financially (yet,) by other non profit organizations and churches; we alleviate suffering through prayer for peace, non-violence, and on-discrimination at our temple and with people of many faiths worldwide. Since we are a newly founded organization, we must raise funds by applying for grants providing general operational expenses for a shelter space for residents to eat, sleep, recover, pray, and some may also choose to work. Residents who especially love our organization might choose to work with us and stay long term. We have already hired a few employees. We have many partners waiting to partner with us such as PETCO , a huge pet store franchise, and the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, a department in the department of labor, government workers who helps disabled folks find jobs they can do. Two domestic violence shelters in other towns nearby have discussed the possibility of our sharing emails and phone calls in regards to referring clients to each other should one shelter become too full.
