The Family Violence Task Force has launched the 2nd Annual Food and Clothing Drive, as part of the 11th Annual Domestic Violence Awareness Month activities in the CNMI.

The Northern Marianas Insurance Association and Power 99 are sponsoring the Food and Clothing Drive. Food and clothing to be donated can be dropped off at the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium parking lot between 3pm to 5pm this Friday, Oct. 7.

Donations will be given to Connecting Families Child Visitation Center and Guma’ Esperansa Shelter for Victims of Domestic Violence.

The purpose of Domestic Violence Awareness Month is to promote and support ongoing public education efforts to change belief systems and practices that support violence against women, and to encourage the participation of the entire community in building social intolerance towards domestic violence.

The theme for Domestic Violence Awareness Month, October 2005 is “Linking our community to break the chains of violence.” (PR)
