The Purple Box Program

Empowerment Begins with The Purple Box Program

Transitioning from a life shadowed by domestic violence and sexual assault to a fresh new beginning is a journey filled with challenges. The Purple Box Program is dedicated to lightening this load for survivors, providing thoughtful support encapsulated within two unique offerings: the Moving On Box and the Birthday Box. Designed with profound understanding and empathy, these boxes are more than just packages—they are symbols of hope and new beginnings.

Moving Forward with the Moving On Box

Imagine leaving behind the turmoil and stepping into a new space that you can call your own. This pivotal moment is filled with mixed emotions, and starting afresh often means rebuilding from the ground up. Our Moving On Box is designed specifically to ease this transition for residents moving out of shelters and into their first personal homes after experiencing domestic violence or sexual assault. This box includes:

– Household essentials to set up your new living space

– Personal care items to nurture your well-being

– A guide with resources for further assistance and empowerment

These carefully selected items ensure that as you turn the key to your new home, you have the fundamental necessities to begin this new chapter with confidence.

Celebrating Life with the Birthday Box

Birthdays are milestones that deserve recognition and celebration, even more so for someone rebuilding their life. Our Birthday Box is an uplifting part of the Purple Box Program aimed at bringing joy and a sense of normalcy to those who might feel forgotten on their special day. Each Birthday Box includes:

– A heartfelt birthday card filled with encouraging words

– Small gifts to celebrate the occasion

– Tokens that signify community support and care

This gesture goes beyond the physical goods; it delivers a message of love, recognition, and community solidarity, reminding residents that they are cherished and celebrated.

Why Choose The Purple Box Program?

When you support The Purple Box Program, you’re not just giving a box; you’re giving a token of hope and a tool for empowerment. Here’s how each box makes a difference:

Encourages Independence: The Moving On Box provides practical tools that help survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault feel prepared and supported as they establish an independent life.

Boosts Morale: Celebrating with a Birthday Box reminds individuals that despite past hardships, joy can still be a part of their lives, and they are not alone in their journey.

Fosters Community and Support: Both boxes serve as bridges, connecting survivors with a community that cares deeply about their well-being and ongoing journey.
