Speaker: Lisa Blanchard of The Grateful Garment Project

Join us online to hear from Lisa Blanchard, Executive Director & Founder of The Grateful Garment Project. The Grateful Garment Project (TGGP) 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.

Ms. Blanchard will present to our club the founding of TGGP, its growth and evolution, and virtual volunteer opportunities that are short-term and highly impactful.

In March the Smith College Club of the Peninsula successfully collected over 625 items in our clothing drive for TGGP.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. You can find additional information and resources at the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) at www.nsvrc.org/saam.
