RETIRE YOUR ATTIRE DRIVE HELPS REDUCE BARRIERS FOR VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
On March 24th representatives from Nissan, WEAVE and Capital Public Radio met with key supporters of the 13th Annual Nissan Retire Your Attire Clothing Drive to accept donations of apparel for WEAVE’s Suited for Success program. During the 10 day drive Capitol staffers and elected officials donated thousands of suits, dresses, shirts, shoes and ties to be distributed to victims of domestic violence who are reentering the workforce and working to rebuild their lives.
Beth Hassett, Executive Director of WEAVE, was overwhelmed by the generosity of the Capitol community this year and by the support members have shown for domestic violence services. On March 25th the boxes of clothes will be transported from the Capitol building, local Nissan dealerships and Capital Public Radio to WEAVE’s Suited for Success program site. The clothing will be distributed over the year to men and women who seek services through the program.
