In February, Jessica Randall started collecting clothing to donate to our local health care systems.
When survivors report an assault their clothes are sometimes taken into evidence.
Then, in some cases, they are sent home from hospitals or clinics wearing paper scrubs and disposable underwear.
When Randall learned about this, she knew something needed to be done.
She explained that it’s dehumanizing for people going through this kind of traumatic experience, and they deserve better.
“This isn’t just about collecting clothes. It’s about spreading awareness because most people don’t know that this happens,” Randall said.

Jessica Randall learned that when survivors report an assault their clothes are sometimes taken into evidence.
Then, in some cases, they are sent home wearing paper scrubs and disposable underwear.
This really upset Randall, so she decided she was going to do something about it.
She’s collecting clothes through the entire month of February and then dropping them off at Mayo and Gundersen Health Systems.
Randall said living in our community, she knows a lot of people will get behind this cause.
“People have rallied together before to support a cause. I’m trusting the community that everyone will come together and help, because this something important, and it’s important to realize it can happen to any of us and we don’t have control over it,” Randall said Thursday.
1/1 A MAN who had a “very sophisticated” cannabis farm in a North Yorkshire village has been jailed. Thomas Daniel Leggett, 29, could have made more than £11,000 in streets deals from every harvest of his illegal crop, York Crown Court heard. Alongside him in the dock was his partner, Anna Margaret Bould, 30, who allowed him to use her home near Tadcaster for his drug growing. The Recorder of York, Judge Sean Morris, told Leggett: “This was such a well planned and sophisticated growing enterprise. It was not just a few plants in your wardrobe.” Locking him up for six months, the judge said: “It is a short, sharp shock. It is something other people will learn from, hopefully.”
