Start Spring Cleaning By “Decluttering” To Give Back to Victims of Domestic Violence

March 19, 2013 - PRLog -- RED BANK, NJ – The WGIRLS Coastal NJ chapter launched the 2nd Annual “De-Clutter and Give Back” campaign, an item collection drive through April 6, to benefit the Coalition Against Rape and Abuse, Inc. (C.A.R.A)

C.A.R.A. provides a host of resources, including legal counseling, food, clothing and toiletries, as well as translation services, to women recovering from domestic violence and sexual assault.

“After the hurricane and in the midst of a difficult economy, nonprofit organizations are struggling to provide services to those who need them the most,” said Jaclyn Boruch, President, WGIRLS Coastal NJ. “The WGIRLS hope to assist C.A.R.A. by donating items necessary for daily operations.”  
Those interested in donating items can locate WGIRLS labeled-boxes at locations throughout Monmouth and surrounding Counties.  Acceptable items include unused or new shampoo and conditioner, cleaning and paper products, combs and brushes, and feminine products.
