This is a past event.

We will be accepting supplies for the Barabra Kettle Gundlach Shelter Home & The Husky Fan Pantry. The Barbara Kettle Gundlach Shelter Home is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization that offers a safe place for victims of domestic violence and their children.

The Husky Food Pantry is open based on volunteer availability. Individuals in need of food outside of these times are encouraged to pick up Emergency Meal Packs from Public Safety and Police Services. They are located at 206 MacInnes Drive, in the blue building.  Public Safety is working to keep you and their staff safe, so please work with their procedures for picking up meal packs; wait in the lobby area where a Public Safety Dispatcher will bring you a meal pack. Each meal pack includes 3 servings of a meal, a fruit, snack, and protein. You can request more than one meal pack, we recommend one per person receiving emergency food. Please utilize our other resources to supplement as needed. 

What is Walk A Mile in Her Shoes™

Put Yourself in Her Shoes™ Since 2001, men, women, and their families around the world have joined the award-winning Walk a Mile in Her Shoes®: The International Men's March to Stop Rape, Sexual Assault & Gender Violence. It is a dramatic opportunity to raise awareness in your community about the serious causes, effects, and remediations of men's sexualized violence.

Prevention Education and Action: We must talk about the causes, effects, and solutions to ending men's sexualized violence. We must educate ourselves and others, examine the sexual and gender biases that seed sexualized violence, and innoculate ourselves and our cultures.

Men Standing Up to Sexualized Violence:Men cannot end sexualized violence without undoing patriarchy. Patriarchy is a social system that privileges men with power. With that power comes the requirement to dominate others in roles of political leadership, moral authority, social superiority, property control, and sexual supremacy over women. Men do not volunteer for patriarchy; they are born into it and subjected to masculinities dictated by patriarchy.

While men benefit from patriarchy, they also suffer from patriarchy's restrictive gender identities and roles. Misunderstanding the responsibilities given to them by patriarchy or acting out from the suffering caused them by patriarchy, men must learn to take better care of themselves and others. Men must become leaders in undoing patriarchy and ending sexualized violence.
