As October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Sigma Psi Zeta is hosting a drive for ICT SOS from Oct. 19-26. ICT SOS is a Wichita-based organization that seeks to end human trafficking through prevention and awareness education, advocacy for survivors, and acting as a bridge between direct service professionals and community members who desire to help.

As a community, one of the simplest things we can do is to organize and provide those resources so that they are on hand and easily accessible in a moment of crisis. Items must to be new, as survivors deserve a fresh new start. Donations can be dropped off at the SEAL Office (RSC 216).

As you are helping Sigma Psi Zeta contribute to our philanthropy of combating violence against womxn, we would like to offer the same to you. We will be donating $100 to the philanthropy or chosen charity of the organization that donates the most to our drive.

For any questions, contact Merry Phan at syz.grin@gmail.com.
