  • Drexel Kline Plaintiffs' Law Association (DPLA) Toiletry Drive

         WRAP Court needs donations for the hygiene cart, and, as an added incentive, local law schools are competing against each other to see who can get the most donors (so the most individuals donating, not the most items). The winning school and organization putting the drive together will get shout-outs and prizes!

    WRAP Court Toiletry Drive

    Background on the Cause

    WRAP Court (Working to Restore Adolescents’ Power) was created in 2015 in response to PA’s lack of safe harbor legislation. It is aimed at helping children and young people who are at risk of or are victims of commercial sexual exploitation and human trafficking, and who come through the court system due to delinquency or dependency matters.

    Often, youths in WRAP Court lack stability and move around a lot, which means they lose access to basic essentials. As costs for daily living are consistently increasing, Judge Kristiansson of WRAP Court has started a hygiene cart for her courtroom, which youths can take from as needed. The Support Center for Child Advocates is helping to organize a toiletry drive to gather necessary items for these young people.
