"We were so glad to see our fans on Facebook joining in and supporting our efforts to raise awareness for domestic violence and child abuse in San Luis Obispo county. It is our hope that we've helped a few people become aware of this excellent resource for women and children in the county who may be enduring the painful trauma of domestic violence," said owner John Brezden.

Since 1977, the Women's Shelter Program has worked hard to respond to our community's need for comprehensive multicultural domestic violence and child abuse services. They understand that domestic violence and child abuse, in their fullest scope, impacts primary victims, family members, society, and future generations. With this in mind, it is their goal to stop the cycle of violence by providing crisis intervention, emergency shelter, advocacy, treatment, prevention and education.

Brezden Pest Control's donations are aimed at helping raise awareness for victims of intimate partner violence and child abuse in San Luis Obispo County. Do you know someone in an abusive relationship? The Women's Shelter Program has a 24-hour crisis line at (805) 781-6400.
