Next week the Women’s Center will be hosting our annual Domestic Violence Awareness Month Toiletry Drive ONE DAY ONLY on Wednesday, October 28^th from 11am-2pm in the EMU Amphitheater Bowl.

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the DVAM Toiletry Drive will look very different this year and can only take place within a 3 hour window due to new Tabling Policies. Please be prepared to arrive with unopened donations, wearing a mask and keeping a 6ft distance at the tables. TheWC Staff will only be one person per table and will be masked, gloved, and properly sanitizing surfaces and items. We will also be waiting 72 hours from collection date to begin the counting, sorting and delivery process of all donations collected.

We appreciate any assistance you can provide to support survivors of dating and domestic violence in our community, especially during the tremendous level of collective trauma many folks have been experiencing. #DVAM #SupportSurvivors
