WESTPORT, CT — A total of $3,250 worth of gift cards to local department, specialty, and grocery stores were collected by the Westport Domestic Violence Task Force in its recently concluded holiday gift card drive, organizers announced.

"The gift cards allow survivors to purchase what they most need or want for their families this holiday season," task force members said in a statement. "The Westport Domestic Violence Task Force was once again overwhelmed and grateful for the generosity of our Westport community.

"We would like to extend our sincerest thanks to all who donated, to our local press who publicized the drive, and for your continued support."
