Chrysalis Shelter Receives Major ProKure Disinfectant Donation Aimed at Protecting Residents from COVID-19
Staff at domestic violence shelter and prevention organization Chrysalis recently accepted a donation of 123 gallons worth of hospital-type liquid disinfectant. The donation from Phoenix-based ProKure Solutions, which also included accessories like sprayers, is expected to provide each of Chrysalis’ three facilities with full time use of ProKure V liquid disinfectant for at least 30-60 days. This will be the first of an ongoing donation to the organization that helps protect Chrysalis employees and clients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Since the pandemic began, the Chrysalis Victim Advocacy Program has seen a 225% increase in call volume. The calls pre-pandemic were primarily resource inquiries. Now, calls have taken on a more urgent nature, as victims are seeking safe shelter from domestic abuse while sheltering in place. Emergency shelter beds, as a result, are in greater demand, and domestic abuse homicides have doubled year-over-year.
