This cleaning product drive hosted by the Office of Student Engagement is to support the survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault who use services from Genesis House. Genesis House is a safe place for victims to go to heal, receive shelter, get goods and services, and become self-sufficient. Genesis House also aims to provide comprehensive education plans to the community. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, so this would be a great time for the staff and students of Tennessee Tech to show their support through donating cleaning products to Genesis House.
