TAMPA – Elite DNA Behavioral Health, a behavioral and mental health service provider, is hosting a supply drive May 1 to 23 to support domestic violence victims in the greater Tampa area.
The drive coincides with Mental Health Awareness Month.
“We are proud to stand alongside domestic violence survivors and believe that no one should face this battle alone,” said Elizabeth Dosoretz, founder and CEO of Elite DNA Behavioral Health. “Oftentimes, domestic violence victims must abandon personal items and necessities when fleeing unsafe situations, leaving them with significant needs as they seek help. Together, with the generosity of the community, we can help support survivors and provide them with essential items as they work to rebuild their lives.”
Elite DNA will collect items at six locations and is calling on the community for help.
Each participating Elite DNA location will support a different organization or shelter in the area.
