Boise State Women's Center Looking For Homecoming Parade Volunteers

The Boise State Women’s center is looking for volunteers to walk in the homecoming parade at 2 p.m. Oct. 8.

The Center’s theme will be “Make Coming Home Safe,” as a gesture of solidarity with
survivors of violence. Volunteers will wear T-shirts designed for the Clothesline Project to promote increased awareness and prevention of violence.

The marchers will also accept donations for the Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Money collected will go to survivors of abuse in the New Orleans area whose shelters were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.

Volunteers will meet at 1:45 p.m. at the Discovery Center parking lot at 131 W. Myrtle. For more information, call the Women’s Center at 426-4259.
