ENDICOTT, N.Y. -- Bags are packed, and letters are signed with inspirational messages.

The 'SUNY's Got Your Back' program is shining a light on victims of domestic and sexual abuse.

They're hoping their act of goodwill puts a smile on someone's face.

"They're about restoring dignity for the folks that are ultimately receiving them. I think that is going to ultimately shed a little bit of light or bring a little bit of brightness to what is otherwise a terrible day," said Elizabeth Brady, SUNY Sexual and Interprofessional Violence Director.

The group spent the day putting together comfort kits for crime victims. Each one contains toiletries, a stress ball, and items to help in their recovery.

"We ship and deliver them to agencies. A number of them are going right here in the Southern Tier and then we're going to bring to agencies across the state, said Joseph Storch, SUNY Associate Counsel."

Each bag will also include a number of resources and locations you can go to if you do need help.

"Getting the word out about victim survivor compensation if something of theirs is broken during an assault, or if they need access to transportation, or healthcare costs," said Brady.

Visitors to this year's Dick's Sporting Goods Open were invited to help fill the bags for those in need and the community was eager to join in.

"It is incredible but not surprising. This is our 4th time back at the Dick's Sporting Goods Open. Everyone is always so generous and so welcoming. We are so thankful for their generous support and being so welcoming to us and the program," said Brady.

2,800 kits are set to be delivered to shelters in the Southern Tier.
