The Alliance of the ADA is collecting at least 3,000 Head-to-Toe project kits, which it will donate to abused women and children during its annual meeting in New Orleans this fall.
The kits include a hat, a pair of socks, a toothbrush, toothpaste, and personal care items for women or a small toy for children, according to an ADA News article. The Alliance will donate the kits to New Orleans Metro, an agency that provides essential services for abused women and children.
Alliance members are collecting and packaging items at home and sending them to the ADA office in Chicago or preparing to pack them when they come to New Orleans. It is not necessary to be an Alliance member to be a part of the project.
The Alliance will also accept monetary donations to support the project both onsite and in advance. Checks or donations of multiple kits can be sent by September 15 to the Alliance office, 211 E. Chicago Ave., Suite 730, Chicago, IL 60611.
