New Directions associate launches donation drive for victims

(GREENSBURG, Ind.) – A New Directions employee is hoping to collect new items to be given to victims of domestic violence.

April Richards serves as a Domestic Violence Advocate as well as a Sexual Abuse Victims Advocate for the Greensburg-based domestic violence prevention organization. 

“With that being said I'm looking to put together some go bags for when I'm called to the ER to be with a victim,” Richards said. 

She has launched a donation drive where she is seeking new items (of all sizes) that include:

• Leggings/sweats

• T-shirt's/sweatshirts

• sports bras

• Panties

• socks.

"I need sizes small, medium, large, extra large, and extra extra large,” Richards said. “I'm also looking for blankets to add to the bags.”

If you would like to make a donation, contact New Directions at (812) 662-8223 and a meeting location will be arranged.

If you prefer to give money so New Directions can purchase the items themselves, that is also available.
