Clothing Drive - Grateful Garment Project
Throughout the month of March we reached out to our members and alums in an effort to gather clothing and other items for the Grateful Garment Project (TGGP), a local non-profit that provides victims of sexual violence the clothing and other resources they need to reclaim their dignity and begin the healing process. The group works with hospitals, shelters, law enforcement and other nonprofits to meet victims’ immediate needs after a crisis, and support their ongoing needs along their road to recovery.
As a club, we were able to donate nearly 650 items of clothing, plus toiletries, books, food, and comfort items to the Grateful Garment Project, far exceeding expectations. Your participation and generosity was overwhelming.
On April 22, we will host TGGP founder and executive director Lisa Blanchard as she presents (via Zoom) the founding of TGGP, its growth and evolution, and virtual volunteer opportunities that are short-term and highly impactful. This event is open to all members, alums, and guests. Go to Upcoming Events for more information.
