On Saturday, April 23, Schaumburg High School Saxons LEAD Club hosted a Clothing Donation Drive for the WINGS Program in support of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

WINGS provides a pathway to independence for adults and children who are escaping from domestic violence and abuse. The goal of the WINGS program is to provide the tools and support necessary to ensure that survivors can escape their abusers and begin building new lives. WINGS oversee safe homes, shared homes and transitional housing in and around the Chicagoland area to help end the cycle of domestic abuse. WINGS has been the leading advocate in the Chicago area for 37 years.

The students and staff were invited to donate clothing before school. On Saturday, the donation drive was extended to the Schaumburg community to show solidarity for survivors of sexual assault and domestic abuse.

"The donation drive was a complete success. We collected over 100 bags," stated Rachael Kahan, Schaumburg High School Teacher and Saxons LEAD Sponsor.
