The Cobb County District Attorney’s Office is calling on the public to donate to an organization that helps domestic violence victims get back on their feet.
Marietta-based liveSAFE Resources serves anyone affected by domestic abuse and sexual assault. The District Attorney’s Office’s Stock the Shelves campaign is part of its participation in National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, which has become a virtual commemoration due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Residents are asked to make monetary donations or purchase items on the organization's Amazon wish list. Those items will be sent directly to the organization's office.
Anyone suffering abuse in an intimate relationship can reach out to liveSAFE Resources 24-hour crisis hotline at 770-427-3390 or visit their website.
