Perkolate Assists The Shade Tree of Las Vegas with Pro Bono Work

Friday, February 20th, 2009

Perkolate is proud to announce that we recently completed a Powerpoint Presentation for The Shade Tree of Las Vegas, Nevada. We were happy to help such a worthy cause and give back to our community and we look forward to assisting them with projects on a pro-bono basis.

About The Shade Tree:

Since 1990 The Shade Tree has served homeless and abused women and children, victims of domestic violence, victims of elder abuse, victims of street violence, female veterans, homeless youth and the physically disabled. 

Using programs offered by The Shade Tree, women can rebuild their lives. They can find employment, secure permanent housing and become productive member of the community. 

The shelter provides immediate safety from the harshness of the streets, street crime and domestic violence. Each person is provided accommodations that ensure the dignity and respect of everyone utilizing the Shade Tree services. 

The Shade Tree is the largest shelter of it’s kind in the state, and is the only 24-hour accessible shelter designed specifically to meet the needs of women and children in Southern Nevada. With 364 permanent beds, The Shade Tree provides some 80,000 nights of shelter each year. On average, 33% of our clients are children under the age of 18. Senior citizens represent the fastest growing segment of our population. 

The second and third floors of our 38,000 square foot facility are residential areas with sleeping rooms, libraries, training rooms, rest rooms, and children’s play rooms. The main floor has our “Dayroom,” kitchen, laundry, restrooms and showers, and services for victims of violence. The full basement is used for storing donations and shelter supplies. 

The Shade Tree is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. This means that most donations are tax deductible. We are a local ‘grassroots’ agency with no national affiliation or support. 

To remove any barrier that might prevent a woman from accessing necessary services for herself and her children, 100% of our services are provided completely free of charge, regardless of the length of stay.
