Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training Unit (CNATTU) Keesler Sailors and Marines finished a month of Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month (SAAPM) events by presenting the Gulf Coast Women's Center for Nonviolence with donated items from the organization's SAAPM Drive May 2.

CNATTU Keesler SAAPM drive participants donated crates of towels, washcloths, sheets, and pillows.

"Our volunteer efforts at the Center are a great way for the Sailors and Marines of CNATTU Keesler to have a tangible positive impact on the local community," said Cmdr. Timothy Knapp, CNATTU Keesler Commanding Officer.

"We're the oldest and largest domestic violence center in the state of Mississippi", said Sandra Morrison, Executive Director of the Gulf Coast Women's Center for Nonviolence. "[CNATTU] Keesler has been very good to us over the years - not only to us but to the entire community down the coast."

The Gulf Coast Women's Center for Nonviolence is a 72-bed facility in Biloxi, Mississippi, which provides shelter, meals, clothing, personal hygiene items, child care, transportation, phone and computer access and a comprehensive array of counseling and support services to victims of domestic violence, human trafficking and sexual assault.
