Since 1992, McLeod Alliance for Victims of Domestic Violence has been providing assistance to those affected
by domestic violence. At McLeod Alliance, their mission is to support and promote the elimination of
relationship violence through education, empowerment, protection, and advocacy. Domestic violence, or
battering, is a pattern of abusive behaviors that some individuals use to control their intimate partners. Without
help, domestic violence often becomes more frequent and more severe, and can lead to permanent injury and
death. I will be collecting donations for the McLeod Alliance for Victims of Domestic Violence. Below is a list
of items that are most commonly needed at the shelter, but feel free to donate any personal care items. There
will be a donation box in the school office. Items will be collected until 3 P.M. on Friday, May 8. Please help
me with this worthy cause. Thank you, Taylor Kriz.
