SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn Training Series- On Demand
DESCRIPTION:Learn. Reflect. Take Action. 💙 \nApril is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM)—a time when communities across the nation come together to raise awareness\, challenge harmful norms\, and stand united against sexual violence. \nSilence allows sexual violence to persist. Education\, conversation\, and community action are how we begin to change that. \nThis month\, we are proud to join fellow agencies and organizations in our area to amplify awareness and provide meaningful opportunities for learning and engagement. One of the ways we’re doing that is through our Lunch & Learn Training Series—a simple\, accessible way to grow your understanding and become part of the solution. \nREGISTER HERE: igfn.us/form/LRUzfg \n\n🥗 Lunch & Learn Training Series\nThroughout April\, every Tuesday and Thursday at 11:00 AM\, you’ll receive a short training video delivered straight to you by text. These videos are designed to fit into your day—watch them over lunch\, on a break\, or whenever you have a few quiet moments. \nEach session will also be shared on our social media platforms\, where you’re invited to join the conversation\, reflect\, and connect with others who are learning alongside you. \nAt the end of the month\, participants will receive a complete collection of all 9 trainings—a valuable resource you can revisit and share. \n\n📚 Training Schedule\n\nApril 2: MCWC Agency Overview (12 min)\nApril 7: Criteria for Consent (10 min)\nApril 9: Sexual Assault & Special Populations (22 min)\nApril 14: Exploring Victim Blaming (16 min)\nApril 16: Ways to Stop Contributing to Rape Culture (15 min)\nApril 21: Supporting Survivors of Sexual Assault (16 min)\nApril 23: Rights & Options for Victims (16 min)\nApril 28: Consent 101 (10 min)\nApril 30: Making Your Own Comfort Box (23 min)\n\n\nThis series is more than information—it’s an invitation. An invitation to listen\, to learn\, to challenge assumptions\, and to stand in solidarity with survivors. \nWhether you attend one session or all nine\, your participation matters. Every conversation helps break the silence. Every insight helps shift the culture. Every action brings us closer to a community where survivors are supported and violence is not tolerated. \nJoin us this April. Learn with us. Speak up with us. 💙 \nREGISTER HERE: igfn.us/form/LRUzfg

SUMMARY:Sexual Assault Victim Donation Drive
DESCRIPTION:Montgomery County Women’s Center advocates responded 515 sexual assault exams in 2024.\n\nIf you or your organization are interested in donating bras & underwear for our Sexual Assault Advocacy Program they can be dropped off or mail to:\nMontgomery County Women’s Center: 1401 Airport Rd\, Conroe TX 77301 (Attn: Siomara)\n\n………………………………………………………………………………………………………………\n\nHeartbreaking but REAL & RAW account from a forensic nurse.\n\nThis is the underwear that no woman wants to wear.\nAnd it’s not just because it’s a plain cotton sports bra the color of Pepto-Bismol.\nIt’s because this is the underwear we give to survivors of rape and sexual assault after we take their own underwear as evidence.\nWe take their nice underwear\, their favorite underwear\, their cute underwear\, their comfy underwear\, their best-fitting bra\, their 75-dollar designer bra\, their weekend bra\, their work bra. And we take it away from them while wearing gloves\, and drop it into a paper bag\, and seal it with evidence tape and write their police case number on the outside\, and send it to the state crime lab\, and they never see it again.\nAnd we give them some Fruit from the Loom to wear home\, back to a life and a world they no longer recognize and no longer trust.\nBut here’s the kicker: That boring sports bra is WAY way WAY better than what some survivors get when they’re discharged.\nSome women have ALL of their clothes taken for evidence. Shirt. Undershirt. Pants. Bra. Underwear. Even their socks. And if the local forensic/sexual assault program that cares for them doesn’t have — or won’t buy — or can’t buy — clothes for them\, they get discharged in hospital scrubs.\nAnd grippy hospital socks.\nAnd postpartum white-mesh hospital underwear.\nAnd no bra.\nEver seen a woman who’s just been raped\, just had a three-hour forensic exam\, just had every surface of her battered body swabbed and photographed and inventoried for the police\, ever seen her walk out of a hospital wearing oversized hospital scrubs ——and her arms wrapped tightly around her chest\, ashamed\, because she doesn’t have a bra to wear?\nI have.\nAnd I absolutely refuse to ever see it again.\nThis is $150 of underwear from Kohl’s. My team and I buy this underwear ourselves for our patients\, because we are no longer willing to let any of our survivors go home without a bra\, or without a decent pair of underwear.\nIf you are looking for a place to donate something meaningful this holiday season\, reach out to your local Forensic Nursing team\, rape crisis center\, or domestic violence shelter.\nGo to Wal-Mart\, or Kohl’s\, or Target\, and buy clothes you’d feel comfortable in curled up\, safe at home\, watching TV. And donate them.\nNew underwear\, a comfortable bra\, a comfortable pair of pants\, a soft hoody\, squishy socks — all of these things can help make a woman who has survived a violent rape feel like a person again.\nA person.\nNot a victim.\nBecause it’s a long walk down that hallway\, out of the hospital\, and back into the world.\nAt least she can be comfortable as she takes each step.

SUMMARY:"In Bloom" Community Garden Display
DESCRIPTION:Planting Hope: A Community Garden for Survivors 🌱 \n“Planting a garden of any sort symbolizes hope. Hope in tomorrow—and hope that something beautiful is about to happen.” \nThis April\, in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month\, we invite our community to come together in a powerful\, visible act of support\, remembrance\, and hope. \nAt Something Special Resale\, we are creating more than just a display—we are cultivating a Community Garden of Hope. Each flower placed represents strength\, resilience\, and the voices of survivors who deserve to be seen\, heard\, and supported. \nIn 2025 alone\, our advocates stood beside 873 sexual assault survivors during forensic exams. That number is not just a statistic—it represents real people\, real stories\, and unimaginable courage in the face of trauma. This garden is for them. \n🌼 How You Can Participate:Throughout the month of April\, you can purchase a flower in-store and add it to our growing garden display. Each flower is a symbol of solidarity—a quiet but powerful way to say: you are not alone. \n🎗️ As a small token of appreciation\, every participant will receive a free teal ribbon\, the recognized color of sexual assault awareness\, to wear and share your support. \n📍 Event Details:April 1st – April 30thSomething Special Resale19073 I-45 #180\, Shenandoah \nThis garden will grow day by day—just like hope. And with each flower added\, we are reminded that healing is possible\, that community matters\, and that together\, we can create something beautiful out of even the hardest truths. \nJoin us. Stand with survivors. Help us plant hope. 🌷
