Please help your Knoxville area victims.
HOPE for Victims is a Knoxville support group for victims of violent crimes and is partnering with Hope for Healing.Org to support victims of domestic violence. These groups are collecting items during the month of September for the residences that shelter the victims. Donation boxes will be placed at various locations in the area for collection September 1 through September 30.
Items collected will be donated to the following programs:
Safe Haven Sexual Assault CenterSerenity Shelter
Family Justice Center
Oasis Sexual Assault Center

Children:

WE APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS GIVEN FOR THE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. Thank you for anything you can do to help.
Small collection boxes can be delivered and will be picked up October 1, 2010. Email hello@hopeforhealing.org to become a drop-off today.
The items that are collected will go a long way toward bringing a smile to someone who needs it when they need it most.
A single full sized bottle of shampoo, pack of crayons or bar of soap doesn't cost much when purchased individually. The combination can be out of reach when a domestic violence survivor has to flee. The new teddy bear that's given to a child can be a comforting replacement to the one accidentally left behind.
These are a small things that each of us can do. Individually, they aren't much. Together, they can make all the difference in the world.
Please join us.
