The group decided to host a clothing drive to raise awareness about gun violence and to collect donations for the families of the victims.

The Origins of the Clothing Drive

The idea for the clothing drive was born out of a desire to address the devastating impact of gun violence on the community. The group of neighbors, who had lost loved ones to gun violence, wanted to take action and make a difference. They reached out to ATX Peace, a local advocacy group that specializes in promoting peace and nonviolence.

The Partnership with ATX Peace

ATX Peace agreed to partner with the group of neighbors, providing guidance and support to help them organize the clothing drive.

These individuals are trained to provide support and resources to those who have been affected by violence in their community.

The Mission of ATX Peace

ATX Peace is a program designed to address the root causes of violence in Austin, Texas. The program aims to provide support and resources to individuals and families who have been affected by violence, with a focus on those who have been incarcerated or have experienced trauma.

The OVP is also exploring alternative funding sources, such as private donations and corporate sponsorships.
