The Zonta Club of Roseburg is having its annual Dignity Drive, through November 18th.

Information from the group says it is being held to help women who are forced to flee their homes due to violence. Donations of new bras, panties and sanitary products are sought. All sizes in top and bottom garments are needed as well.

There are four Dignity Drive drop sites this year. Garments, preferably still packaged, can be dropped off at the purple boxes located at the YMCA of Douglas County, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Brews, and Sherm’s Thunderbird Market, all on Northwest Stewart Parkway. They can also be dropped off at the front desk of the Roseburg Public Library.

The Dignity Drive is part of the club’s Handup program, which works in cooperation with Peace at Home, Adapt/Crossroads, Safe Haven and other agencies to help women in life changing transitions. The donated items will be distributed to these partner agencies for women in need.

Zonta International is a service organization of men and women dedicated to empowering women worldwide through service and advocacy. For additional information, go to www.zontaroseburg.org.
