Rutherford County Zetas Launch “All Things Purple Christmas” Drive to Support Domestic Violence Survivors
The Rutherford County Zetas have launched their annual All Things Purple Christmas Donation Drive, a community initiative dedicated to supporting survivors of domestic violence throughout the holiday season. This year marks the chapter’s second year partnering with the Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Center (DVSAC) to provide comfort items and tangible support to individuals and families in crisis.
In 2024, the Rutherford County Zetas donated more than 100 teddy bears to DVSAC during their Holiday Party and hosted a special Purple Party to collect purple-themed comfort items for survivors. Inspired by the community’s response and the impact of last year’s efforts, the chapter is expanding its outreach to bring even greater support to those in need.
“Our goal is to uplift survivors with compassion, dignity, and care—especially during the holiday season, when community support means the most,” said Megan O’Quinn, Community Service Chair for the Rutherford County Zetas. “Domestic violence affects countless individuals in our region, and we are committed to being part of the solution.”
