Care Cabinets Placed in Rural Counties of East Tennessee for Survivors of Domestic Violence

Morgan County, TN (WOKI) There’s now a new resource for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in East Tennessee.

Domestic violence can happen to anyone, anywhere and people sometimes don’t know where to go.

Avalon Center Director of Client Services Lacie Norris wants to reach more people in rural communities and recently launched the Care Cabinets Program.

These cabinets are placed in public places in several counties including Cumberland and Morgan.

Norris says inside are free supplies and resources, including feminine products, contact information for the center and an emergency blanket.

The director of the Wartburg Public Library partnered with the Avalon Center to have a care cabinet to spread awareness in the community.

You can donate items for these care cabinets. Instructions on how to donate are provided on their Facebook page.
