🧺 Center for Family Violence Prevention Survivor Baskets
Team up with your department, committee or create baskets individually for the Center for Family Violence Prevention.

Time used to shop and prepare the basket will count toward your service hours.
Each basket should contain the following items: All-Purpose Cleaner, Bath Towels, Mop, Dishwasher Detergent, Dish Towels, Disinfectant Wipes, Air Freshener, 13 Gallon Trash Bags, Hand Towels, Home First-Aid Kit, Household Cleaning Gloves, Laundry Detergent, Laundry Basket, No-Scratch Sponges, Paper Towels, Toilet Paper, Toilet Bowl Cleaner, Utensil Set and Wash Cloths.
