R. Place of Refuge, a Kent-based relief agency, is asking for extra help with donations of clothing and food, after executive director Kelly Carroll sustained injuries last week in an auto accident in Seattle.
Carroll said in a phone interview Monday that she sustained a broken elbow and isn’t able to perform her typical amount of fundraising efforts over the next few weeks.
“It’s not about me, but we cannot do what we planned without support,” Carroll said.
The agency needs clothing for newborns to adults as well as toys and non-perishable food.
R. Place of Refuge is in the middle of its annual holiday Adopt-a-Family drive to provide food, clothing and toys to 200 families that asked for help.
Carroll, a former Microsoft employee, founded R. Place of Refuge in 2004. The agency, which remains active in providing help to the 2007 flood victims in Lewis County, is based out of her Kent home.
For more information or to make donations, call Carroll at 206-255-1178 or go to www.rplaceofrefuge.org.
