New Years Community Clean Out!!
2025-01-01 08:00 - 2025-01-31 17:00 | TX
The New Year is a time for reflection, recommitment and… re-organization! It’s the perfect time to re-gift unneeded holiday presents, get a fresh start with your wardrobe and donate to your favorite local thrift store – Something Special!
Something Special offers new and gently-used clothing, accessories and housewares to the public. Vouchers are also provided for families in need to shop for free. The best part? Every Something Special purchase benefits families fleeing abuse in our community.
Need more motivation to clean out your closet? Check out five reasons why decluttering and donating will get your 2023 off to the right start:

Less stuff = more time!

Say goodbye to spending hours sifting through your closet. Imagine all your options hung up neatly and clearly visible. By paring down your wardrobe, you’ll spend less time trying to find outfits and more time wearing the things you love.

Make room for the things that matter.

Clearing out the old means making room for newer and better things to come into your life. Less clothes also means the opportunity to redecorate, reorganize and make the most of your closet space.

Declutter to de-stress!

Simplifying your environment by clearing out unused or unwanted items can improve concentration, help you sleep and elevate your mood. Letting go is a natural, healthy process in our growth that makes room for better things.

Save money!

Going through your closet allows you to rediscover old pieces and reintroduce them to your wardrobe – you get the rush of a great shopping find without the cost! Plus, re-familiarizing yourself with your clothes will stop you from spending money on things you already own.

Save the planet.

Donating your clothes benefits your community AND the environment. Donating and shopping secondhand means that clothes have a longer lifespan and don’t require as many resources as producing new clothes.
Giving back isn’t just good for your community – it’s good for you too! Give yourself – and your old items – a new start this year. Declutter and donate to Something Special, or give us a call to get assistance with larger donations (936) 441-4044 x: 53.
Donations can be dropped at 2 locations:

Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month
2025-02-01 08:00 - 2025-02-28 17:00 | TX
Dating violence is more common than people think, especially among teens and young adults: one in three teens in the US will experience physical, sexual, or emotional abuse from someone they’re in a relationship with before they graduate high school, and nearly half (43%) of college women report experiencing violent or abusive dating behaviors. Every February, young people and their loved ones join together across the country for a national effort to raise awareness about the issue of teen dating violence through Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month (TDVAM). This annual, month-long push focuses on advocacy and education to stop dating abuse before it starts.
Stay tuned for upcoming trainings and events all month long.

2025-02-01 08:00 - 2025-02-28 17:00 | 1401 Airport Rd, Conroe TX 77301
Going through a victimization often leaves you with a lot of surprise expenses and it can take a little while for our clients to adjust to their new budget, so we try to assist with food and fuel as we can. Gift cards can truly help ensure that a victim who is getting on their feet has food and fuel when they need it. Grocery store gift cards can be used to help provide survivors and families with items suited to their specific needs.

Donations can be dropped (or mailed) to: Montgomery County Women’s Center: 1401 Airport Rd, Conroe, TX 77301 (Attn: Siomara)

Gas Card Donation Drive

Gas prices are impacting Americans across the country, and that includes victims of domestic violence. Along their healing journey, we work with survivors to help them re-establish a sense of independence and empowerment. One way we do this is by providing gift cards to them throughout the year. That’s why we are hosting a gas card drive to help its clients get to and from work, school, errands and much needed services. From therapy to counseling to being housed at the emergency shelter, it is crucial to keep these services accessible to the women and children who need them.

Sexual Assault Victims Donation Drive
2025-04-01 08:00 - 2025-04-30 17:00 | 1401 Airport Rd, Conroe TX 77301
This is the underwear that no woman wants to wear.

And it’s not just because it’s a plain cotton sports bra the color of Pepto-Bismol.

It’s because this is the underwear we give to survivors of rape and sexual assault after we take their own underwear as evidence.

We 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.

And 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.

But here’s the kicker: That boring sports bra is WAY way WAY better than what some survivors get when they’re discharged.

Some 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.

And grippy hospital socks.

And postpartum white-mesh hospital underwear.

And no bra.

Ever 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?

I have.

And I absolutely refuse to ever see it again.

This 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.

If 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.

Go 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.

New 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.

A person.
Not a victim.

Because it’s a long walk down that hallway, out of the hospital, and back into the world.

At least she can be comfortable as she takes each step.

* * *

Heartbreaking but REAL & RAW account from a forensic nurse.

Montgomery County Women’s Center advocates responded 515 sexual assault exams in 2021.
If you or your organization are interested in donating bras & underwear for our Sexual Assault Advocacy Program they can be dropped off or mail to:
Montgomery County Women’s Center: 1401 Airport Rd, Conroe TX 77301 (Attn: Siomara)

WHAT IS DENIM DAY???
Since 1999, Peace Over Violence has run an inspiring and powerful campaign to practice solidarity and support survivors by renewing our commitment to exposing harmful behaviors and attitudes surrounding sexual violence. Denim Day is recognized on a Wednesday in April in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The campaign began after a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court to overturn a rape conviction because the justices felt that since the victim was wearing tight jeans she must have helped the person who raped her remove them, thereby implying consent. Following the reversal, the women in the Italian Parliament came to work wearing jeans in solidarity with the victim.
Peace Over Violence developed the Denim Day campaign in response to this case and the activism surrounding it. Since then, what started as a local event to bring awareness to victim blaming and destructive myths that surround sexual violence has grown into a worldwide movement.

In the spirit of a traditional baby shower, the Community Baby Shower is a celebration for new and expectant mothers. The purpose of the event is to assist clients fleeing abuse with the basic items needed to provide for their children. When families arrive at the shelter, they are often in crisis situations.

Disposable diapers (all sizes)

Shoe drives are a great, easy way to help us provide those in need with new shoes in order to propel them into a better life. Cleaning out your closets and donating gently-used or new shoes is an easy, convenient way to help those in need.

The benefits of hosting/ participating in our shoe drive extend far beyond your doorstep, because you’ll also help the environment! By hosting a shoe drive, you help create a sustainable program to recycle athletic shoes which will go to those in our emergency shelter, transitional housing and counseling programs.

Pajamas Donation Drive
2025-07-01 08:00 - 2025-07-31 17:00 | 1401 Airport Rd, Conroe TX 77301
Every year thousands of children are forced to flee and live at a shelter to escape domestic violence. This disruption of home life can lead to a lonely experience, especially at nighttime, and something as simple as a pair of pajamas can help make bedtime a little more comforting for these women and children.
Our emergency shelter accepts multiple victims and children every day. These victims often flee with only the clothes on their back. Our organization provides each person with the basics that they need to make it through each day. This month we are collecting pajamas for the women, men, boys and girls who enter our shelter. Pajamas can be new or gently used. Our shelter houses upwards of 75 individuals each night.

Donations can be dropped (or mailed) to: Montgomery County Women’s Center: 1401 Airport Rd, Conroe, TX 77301

BACK TO SCHOOL Donation Drive
2025-07-01 08:00 - 2025-07-31 17:00 | 1401 Airport Rd, Conroe TX 77301
When a survivor of domestic violence comes to the shelter, it’s because her life is in danger. Often because of circumstances that are beyond her control, she and her children walk through our doors with very few personal belongings. During their stay here, we provide all the essentials she and her children need until she can provide these items for herself and her family. Those essentials include backpacks and school supplies. This month we have a donation drive underway to collect enough of them to meet the needs of children at the shelter and those served by our transitional housing, counseling and legal programs.

Imagine being in a domestic violence shelter, not knowing when things are going to get back to normal and you need to go back to school. Help children and teens impacted by domestic violence return to school prepared and equipped to learn by donating to our Back-to-School Supply Drive.

Your donation will help provide school supplies, suitable clothing, gas cards to assist with transportation and most of all the reassurance that even today, a fresh start can lead to success for the children of domestic violence survivors.

There are three ways you can help:1. Shop our Amazon Wish List HERE 2. Donate Money Online HERE3. Host your own back to school drive with your friends and family.

Donations can be dropped (or mailed) to:
