DONATE: YP WAHINE COMMUNITY DRIVE 
To support our local community, YP Wahine is hosting its first community drive to support women who are experiencing domestic violence. Items collected will be donated to local domestic violence shelters run by Parents And Children Together (PACT), a statewide non-profit organization. The shelters offer a safe and confidential facility for survivors and their children who can no longer remain in their homes because of danger from domestic violence. Sometimes women arrive at the shelter without their personal items, so our goal is to collect donations of the items listed below to assist in their transition.  Bring any of the items below to the YP Program Launch Party or drop off at the Chamber's office.

Items needed:

• Shampoo/conditioner

• Toothpaste/toothbrushes

• Hairbrushes

• Lotion

• Razors/shaving cream

• Deodorant

• Towels

• Feminine hygiene items (tampons & pads)
