In most of the areas we serve, we are the only resource for people who need the most help,” said Jolynn Houchins, executive director for Turning Point. “We rely on the funds we raise at Boots ’n Bling to provide all the services we do and bring safety and security to people whose safety and security has been wrecked.”Domestic abuse and sexual assault have a huge impact on the economies and crime rates of communities.
