On October 5th from 9 AM to 4 PM, the Domestic Violence Intervention Program (DVIP) is teaming up with all HyVee’s in Johnson County to support victims/survivors. DVIP will provide shoppers with a list of items and ask for their generous donations to be dropped off with a DVIP volunteer when they have completed their shopping.

Shop for Shelter is an amazing way for the community to show their support of victims/survivors and provide some basic needs. Requested items range from toothpaste and deodorant to diapers and food. If you use it in your house, we use it in ours! The items donated on October 5th will provide assistance for nine months!

Victims often walk into our shelter or meet with our outreach advocates without basic necessities. In times of crisis, their main focus is evacuating a dangerous situation. This past year DVIP has supported and provided needed resources to 1,899 individuals. 

The items that we receive from our Shop for Shelter drive provide basic needs for all of our clients within Johnson County every day. Please join us in showing you support victims/survivors by stopping by any area Hy-Vee on October 5th from 9 AM to 4 PM.
