Our Mission
The Grateful Garment Project's mission is to ensure that every victim of a sexual crime who crosses the threshold of a Sexual Assault Response Team facility or who seeks medical attention and/or law enforcement involvement is provided with whatever new clothing, toiletries, snacks, & other misc. items that they may require. We have further expanded our mission to encompass all victims of sexual violence. This includes, but is not limited to Commercially Sexually Exploited Children and victims of Human Sexual Trafficking. Our scope is wide but our purpose is narrow: The Vision of TGGP is that no victim of sexual violence in our communities should ever experience further suffering due to a lack of clothing to wear home after they receives services from a Sexual Violence Service Provider.

Our Impact
California
Here is an example reported by one of our partnering agencies: "As a part of our standard welcoming into the Drop-in Center for girls and gender expansive youth ages 12-25 years old (new and returning) that were seeking safety, crisis and basic needs support were all provided a "Care Kit" with most items provided by The Grateful Garment Project that included a hygiene pack, feminine products, leggings, clean socks and underwear, and comfortable weather appropriate clothing - many of our youth have expressed that the Care Kit has helped them. A female, African American, age 16 years old stated ‘This Care Kit really helps me not to have to beg, steal, or trade sex just to survive and have what I need.’"
