October is here. If you’re still looking for a way to get involved in Domestic Violence Awareness Month, consider adopting a local domestic violence shelter. Here’s how -
Contact your local domestic violence shelter (we can help you find it – just give us a call/chat). Ask what sort of donations they can use. Get some friends together (or do this as a class, club, etc.) and collect the items the shelter needs. Some examples of things a shelter might need are blankets, toiletries, clothing (for adults and kids), or cash. But be sure to call and talk to someone first – some shelters have limited storage space (if you show up with a truckload of dental floss, they probably won’t have a place to keep it.)
Let people know about your project and start collecting. Collect items for a week, or continue to collect during all of October. You can ask teachers to set up drop boxes in their classrooms, set up a table during lunches to collect items, or even go door to door in your neighborhood. Then deliver your donations to the shelter at the end of the month./p>
If you decide to try this or any other activity to commemorate DVAM, please let us know. We’d love to hear about it.
