How to help domestic abuse survivors on the holidays

The article discusses the Hope for The Holidays Drive launched by Community Actions Stops Abuse (CASA) Pinellas, aimed at supporting domestic abuse survivors and their families during the festive season. Notably, nearly half of the residents in CASA's shelter are children, which amplifies the importance of this campaign. The organization is encouraging community members to drop off gifts and gift cards at their St. Petersburg location by December 13 to help those in need. The types of contributions requested include toys, clothing, and essential gift cards to Walmart, ensuring families can access necessary items during a challenging time.

This initiative not only provides material support but also fosters a sense of community solidarity and compassion. CASA's efforts highlight the critical role local organizations play in addressing social issues and supporting vulnerable populations. By engaging in these drives, community members can directly contribute to improving the lives of those affected by domestic violence. The article serves as a call to action for residents to participate in this worthy cause and help make a difference.
