Clothing Drive to Support MetroHealth:

As a part of the Women in Business: Today and Tomorrow Event, the College decided to ask attendees to help support an initiative at MetroHealth by bringing a clothing donation to help support survivors of rape and sexual assault. MetroHealth is looking for new clothes for survivors that enter their ER or facility. Women, and men who have been sexually assaulted and enter an ER have to surrender their clothing as evidence. The majority of the survivors of this type of assualt are women, ranging in age from 14 to 80 - in all shapes and sizes. MetroHealth is currently seeking donations for the following items:

Women New socks, long sleeve t-shirts, sweat pants, sweat outfits (sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL)
