Assault Survivor Kits

Assault Survivor Kits® started in 1996. This program provides new clothing and hygiene supplies for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence.  We assemble a new pair of sweatpants, a sweatshirt, a T-shirt, socks, underwear, and hygiene supplies into a reusable drawstring bag.  The kits are delivered to three organizations whose Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners assist victims:  SANE of Butler County, The ION Center for Violence Prevention, and the TriHealth Center for Abuse and Rape Emergency (CARES program).  These organizations distribute the packaged kits, bras, and boxer briefs to 31 hospitals in the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area, where survivors of sexual assault are treated.  This year, Assistance League packaged and delivered 1,734 items to 189 individuals, raising our to-date total to 7,811 for those who benefited.
