Community Service Event-- "Bra Drive" at the Family Crisis Center

The mission of the Family Crisis Center is to be the expert resource and service provider in eliminating domestic and sexual violence in Bastrop, Colorado, Fayette and Lee Counties. The Family Crisis Center started in 1981 from a coalition of rural Texas women with a shared vision of offering hope, support, and assistance to women victimized by domestic violence.

Bastrop County MOPS believes the programs and services the Family Crisis Center provides are a vital resource in our community. Many of the women who need these services are mothers just like us. That’s why, on September 30th, we’re sponsoring a “bra drive” to support the women of the Family Crisis Center. (On every 5th Wednesday, Bastrop County MOPS holds a community service event.)

Please meet us at Calvary Baptist Church on Wednesday, September 30th, at 10:00am. Childcare will be provided by the MOPPETS program. We will have a light brunch and then carpool to the Family Crisis Center to drop off the bras and paint and "spruce up" one of the rooms.

Remember to bring NEW bras, gift cards, or cash. Used bras will not be accepted. Talk to your discussion group leader about shopping trips or pooling your money. Also, please wear appropriate "painting a room" clothing. :)
