The Johnson City/Washington County Family Justice Center is commemorating April’s designation as Sexual Assault Awareness Month by holding a new clothing drive for female and male victims. Melanie Jaynes, the center’s victim services coordinator, tells the Johnson City Press that the clothing will be given to victims of sexual assault to wear after hospital examinations, as their own clothing is often collected as evidence. Donation barrels are available at city hall, Burn Boot Camp, First Horizon Bank and Johnson City Medical Center. Businesses interested in hosting a collection barrel should call the Family Justice Center at 423-722-3720.
