According to the Great Falls Connection, "June Kelly, Vice-President of GFFN Philanthropy, said the 14 women in the group raised funds for the donation through two programs they held in 2020, the Harvest Tea and sales of the Official 2020 White House Christmas Ornament. With income predicted to be reduced due to the coronavirus's impact, members expanded advertising and sale of the ornaments to GFFN's website and Facebook page, NextDoor, and businesses outside Great Falls. "This will really help the women and children of Artemis House," said Meyer. "Thank you very much."
As per Great Falls Connection, "According to Meyer, many of the women entering Artemis House are actively fleeing domestic violence, rescuing themselves and their children from potentially life-threatening situations. The 56-bed program helps survivors, households with and without children, stabilize after traumatic experiences and transition to safe housing away from their abusers. "GFFN has always put women first…Support over the past 15 years has made tremendous impacts on how many lives we've been able to save," he said."
