The YWCA of South Hampton Roads is hosting a free clothing giveaway at The Mustard Seed Place in Portsmouth. Scheduled for May 20th, the event aims to provide women with a boutique experience, offering brand-new clothing, jewelry, shoes, and purses. The initiative, led by YWCA’s Chief Executive Officer Michelle Ellis Young, is part of a broader effort to empower and support survivors of abuse.
Young emphasizes the significance of the event, highlighting its role in restoring dignity and celebrating resilience among survivors. The free clothing giveaway is more than just a fashion event; it represents a compassionate gesture to uplift and support individuals who have experienced trauma.
The Heart of Cabi Foundation, a key partner in the initiative, contributes new and gently used items to benefit survivors. The event’s organizers ensure that participants receive a personalized shopping experience, complete with a personal shopper to assist in finding the perfect fit.
Advance registration is required due to limited space, allowing survivors to secure their spot and participate in this empowering event. The clothing giveaway is a testament to the community’s commitment to supporting those in need and promoting healing and self-confidence.
In addition to the clothing giveaway, the ‘Heroes for Her’ golf tournament, sponsored by Chesapeake Regional Healthcare, aims to raise funds for survivors of abuse. The tournament, scheduled for May 30th, will feature a captain’s choice best ball format, with awards and lunch following the event.
Participants can also volunteer to support the tournament, contributing to the cause and showing solidarity with survivors of abuse. The golf tournament serves as another avenue for the community to come together and make a positive impact on the lives of those affected by domestic violence and child abuse.
Both the clothing giveaway and the golf tournament underscore the importance of community support and solidarity in addressing issues of abuse and trauma. By providing tangible support and opportunities for engagement, these events offer survivors a sense of hope and empowerment as they navigate their healing journey.
