This year UDLA's Designer Showhouse Fall Tour is benefiting Circle The Wagons non-profit organization.
Circle The Wagons provides survivors of violent crime, their family members and their friends with information and resources to help them recover from the trauma of their experience. They Provide a 96-hour survival Guide by means of several outreach methods including the can of comfort.
The Can of Comfort with the 96-Hour Survival Guide contains simple guidance about how to give and receive support within the first 96 hours following the perpetration of a violent crime. In 2010 Circle The Wagons will establish it's service program throughout Utah. The organization's future plans include extending services nationwide.
