Domestic violence shelter residents to benefit from Ridge-based makeup drive
Women living in domestic violence shelters were on the minds of 200 people who attended Beauty Buzz NYC’s festive makeup and beauty drive on Sunday, June 10 at Encore Restaurant in Bay Ridge.
One of the Beauty Buzz group administrators, Helena Peist, said in an email, “Our fundraising mission was to make every woman look and feel beautiful.”
The event named, “The Buzzy Brunch,” collected items such as feminine hygiene products, makeup, lotions, perfumes, skincare and mascara for the women in the Center Against Domestic Violence shelter. The center has been working against domestic violence in Brooklyn since 1976 and is the oldest nonprofit for those made homeless as a result of it.
