Our Radiation oncology nurses proudly choose Peaceful Paths, the certified domestic violence center serving Alachua, Bradford, and Union counties, as their Magnet Required community service project. Survivors often arrive at emergency shelter with few or no personal belongings. Your donation of full-size toiletries helps restore dignity, comfort, and stability during a critical time.
About the Peaceful Paths Initiative
Peaceful Paths provides a wide range of services to families, including a shelter, a 24-hour helpline, victim advocacy, children’s programming, economic empowerment education and support, crisis counseling and support groups, community awareness and intervention, and violence prevention programs. This project will comprise two main collection drives in April and October 2026.
