Henry County District Attorney Darius Pattillo’s office is serving as a collection point for donations for domestic violence victims in recognition of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week.

  Interested citizens who would like to contribute, as well as local businesses, can help lessen the stress placed on domestic violence victims and their children to make sure they have the supplies they need, mainly non-perishable food items and hygiene products. This effort is in collaboration with Haven House, Henry County’s domestic violence shelter.

  Donations may be dropped off at the Henry County District Attorney’s Office at the courthouse in McDonough. The deadline for donations is Wednesday, April 10.

  The donation drive is part of the District Attorney’s Office’s commemoration of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, a national movement from April 7-14 to promote the rights of and services for victims of crime.

  The list of items needed at Haven House includes peanut butter; jelly; canned soup (pop top is preferred); crackers; canned tuna/chicken; spaghetti sauce; other canned foods; spaghetti noodles; macaroni and cheese; rice; breakfast cereal; granola bars; baby wipes; over-the-counter pain relievers; deodorant; disposable razors; laundry detergent; hand soap; household cleaners; Lysol spray; trash bags; toilet tissue; paper towels; copy paper; bath towels/wash clothes; and diapers.   For more information or to find out how to help, contact da@co.henry.ga.us
