Assault Survivor Kits®
Restoring Dignity
Thousands of women, men, and children are assaulted in the State of Washington each year. When survivors are treated at hospitals, their clothing is often taken by law enforcement for use as evidence. Assistance League of the Eastside works with hospitals throughout the state to provide essential care items and new clothing that can be worn home after treatment. We strive to restore dignity at a time when these individuals are most in need of comfort and security.

Kit Components
Each full Assault Survivor Kit contains underwear, socks, hygiene items, a sweatshirt, and sweatpants. For adults, we provide clothing in unisex adult sizes, and for children survivors, we provide children’s sizes of socks and underwear. The kit is labeled by size, tied with a ribbon, and a signed note of encouragement is included. Hospital staff securely store clothing until it is needed and are able to quickly find the required size. Hospitals are able to order full kits, or mini kits with only socks, underwear and hygiene items according to their needs.
