 Alliance for Women Gift Card Collection Drive
Help the AFW's Domestic Violence Task Force & Advocacy Subcommittee to empower survivors of domestic violence receiving shelter at Connections for Abused Women and their Children (CAWC) this holiday season. Small-denomination gift cards for stores such as Target, Jewel, or CVS - for just $10, $20, or $25 - enable CAWC's clients to buy what they might not have taken when they fled a violent situation: clothes to wear to work, shampoo, or diapers for their children. Mail or deliver to Angie Cruz, CBA, 321 S. Plymouth Court, Chicago, IL 60604. Gift cards will be accepted through January 31, 2012.
