Henderson’s Chloe Randolph Organization Seeking Food and Hygiene Product Donations for Victims of Domestic Violence

The holiday season is here and while some of us may have had to make a few cut backs here and there due to the high cost of practically everything right now, we're still fortunate enough to be able to put food on the table and have the things we need to practice good hygiene. However, this time of year is always a good reminder that many of our friends and neighbors can't say the same thing. Especially those who have made the brave decision to get out of an abusive relationship and are in the process of rebuilding their lives. Fortunately, there are organizations in the area to help those individuals, like the Chloe Randolph Organization in Henderson, but they can't do it alone. That's where you come in.

Chloe Randolph Organization of Henderson Food and Hygiene Drive

The Chloe Randolph Organization was founded by the parents of Henderson resident Chloe Randolph who was found dead in her apartment in March 2019. Her husband, Mohamud Abdikadir plead guilty to her murderin September 2021 and is currently in prison serving a 20-year sentence.

Determined to not let Chloe simply become another statistic, her parents and close friends have used her tragic death as motivation to help others who find themselves in dangerous relationships. They opened The Chloe Randolph Organization Advocacy Center in October 2020 at 324 1st Street in downtown Henderson. The Center provides a safe space for victims of domestic violence to get the assistance they need to escape the dangerous situation they find themselves in. That help includes counseling, legal assistance, and more.

The "more" includes daily necessities such as personal hygiene products, and non-perishable food items. According to the Organization in a recent post on its Facebook page, "food insecurities is a major risk factor for victims of domestic violence," and they want to make sure everyone they help has the food they need to get through the holidays.
