Member volunteers of Assistance League of Kansas City gathered this week to assemble 165 Assault Survivor Kits®, which will be distributed by hospital advocates of Metropolitan Organization to Counter Sexual Assault (MOCSA) when survivors present at area hospitals. Our Assault Survivor Kits program provides clothing and personal items to help assault victims, whose garments are retained by police for evidence, to leave the hospital comfortably and with dignity.
The staff at MOCSA is always grateful for all that Assistance League of Kansas City and the Assault Survivor Kits program do to help their clients. Per MOCSA advocates:
· “There is no other agency that fulfills this need. Thank you so much for all you do in helping us provide the best service we can to survivors of sexual violence.”
· “As an advocate at MOCSA, I appreciate this service so much! The survivors are so happy to receive such nice things in their bags. A million thanks to Assistance League of Kansas City!”
Even through the restrictions of the pandemic, Assistance League of Kansas City is still helping and always caring!
