Bob’s Discount Furniture has announced a partnership with The Teen Project, a non-for-profit serving at-risk, homeless, and sex-trafficked young women, to furnish all bedrooms at the new Vera’s Sanctuary for Women.
As part of this partnership, Bob’s has donated over $25,000 worth of furniture and bedding to the five-house haven for young women between the ages of 15 and 21.
The Teen Project recently acquired the former Boys Town Private Village in Trabuco Canyon to continue its legacy of serving vulnerable youth who are in foster care and have been victims of sex trafficking.
On Saturday, Dec. 15, Bob’s delivered three truckloads of its bedroom furniture to the property, including over 30 beds for the five houses. The new and fully furnished Vera’s Sanctuary for Women is on schedule to open its doors right before Christmas.
Vera’s Sanctuary for Women, named after the mother of an anonymous benefactor whose donation helped fund the program, will provide therapy, drug treatment, and life support to young women in a beautiful and compassionate setting.
“The Teen Project is excited to have the support of Bob’s Discount Furniture,” said Lauri Burns, executive director, The Teen Project. “We wouldn’t be able to open Vera’s Sanctuary for Women and offer vulnerable, at-risk young women a second chance without the help of our corporate partners.”
