Event aimed to help women in shelters get back into the workforce.
By Veleka Dudley
Three East Metro-Atlanta Chapters of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority partnered with Stonecrest Mall on Saturday, Nov. 16 to hold a professional clothing drive to aid women in battered women’s shelters, domestic violence shelters, and homeless shelters get back into the workforce.
The chapters involved were Chi Tau Omega Chapter, Newton/Rockdale Counties; Lambda Epsilon Omega Chapter, Decatur; and Tau Pi Omega Chapter, Stone Mountain/Lithonia.
Supporters of the event donated suits, blouses, skirts, slacks, and shoes. Overall, 35 bags of professional clothing were collected from over 95 individuals and donated to three agencies.
We would like to thank all the individuals who supported the clothing drive.
