October is Domestic Awareness Month and the New York Jets have partnered up with the Jersey Battered Women’s Services (JBWS) and the One Love Foundation to participate in two very important events.
The Atlantic Health Jets Women’s Organization (AHJWO) visited the Jersey Battered Women’s Services emergency safe house on Tuesday, preparing new and donated designer handbags for the silent auction fundraiser called the “Old Bags Luncheon.”
AHJWO members sorted, stuffed and photographed bags and assembled goodie bags for the event. The mission of JBWS is the prevention of domestic violence through the protection and empowerment of the victim, the rehabilitation of family members, the advocacy of social reform to prevent partner violence, and the education of the public about domestic violence and its consequences.
