High Plains Morning thanks our esteemed guests on Tuesday, who stopped by the studio to announce the $91,000 grant from the Allstate Foundation's Purple Purse Challenge to further nonprofit work for domestic violence survivors in the Texas Panhandle.

We welcomed KathyTortoreo, Director of Crisis Services atFamily Support Services and Connie Garcia, Executive Director at Martha’s Home.Both of these women dedicate their time to combat the impact of domestic violence and homelessness on women in their local communities. 
 
FSS and Martha's Home are one of thousands of organizations this year to receive Allstate’s support, which supports the organizations’ missions to empower women and children to create a violence-free world. 
***(Our honorary guest was Rex Young, 20-year Allstate Agent in Amarillo, Borger & Pampa, who was not present due to illness. FEEL BETTER, REX!)

If you or anyone you know needs information about domestic abuse, contact FSS's national 24-hour hotline, (806) 374-5433.
