The Caddo Parish DA’s office will give more than 3,500 items to Project Celebration, Inc. as a result of its “Purple Box Campaign” collections during October, Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The donation will be made Thursday, November 21, 2024 at 10:30 a.m. at the DA’s office, 525 Marshall St., downtown Shreveport.
Throughout October, the DA’s office, in partnership with Shreve Memorial Library, several churches and other organizations collected items from toothpaste and hair brushes to bath towels and toiletries to help adult and child victims to domestic abuse.
When most victims flee their abusive environments they usually leave with nothing. The “Purple Box Campaign” helps organizations such as Project Celebration and Providence House serve adults and children displaced by domestic abuse.
“We are so excited to present these items,” said Caddo District Attorney James Stewart Sr. “We not only fight for victims in the courtroom, but we want to help them beyond their cases. The ‘Purple Box Campaign’ allows us to do just that.”
Project Celebration, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that provides direct services to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and violence. Services are provided in Caddo, Bossier, DeSoto, Natchitoches, Red River, Sabine and Webster parishes, with two domestic violence shelters that provide safe housing for women and children fleeing domestic violence. All services through the organization are free and confidential.
