Why Give?

The Women's Center has helped over a thousand women. Some of the things woman come to the Center for include:

• Individual or family counseling
• Support groups
• Individual help with a job search
• Working in the computer lab
• Getting help to prevent a foreclosure
• Attending a workshop.

We have experienced a huge number of referrals from homeless agencies and other shelter programs, walk-ins for services because somebody somewhere told the person to come here. As you may expect, this causes a bit of chaos in trying not to send the person away because they don't have an appointment but not overburden the volunteers and interns that are already serving a large number of women. It also puts a huge strain on our already stretched budget. We are grateful that we are seeing as many women as we are. The services we provide:

• Helping women get and maintain good paying jobs
• Helping women get through divorce
• Heal from a sexual assault or some other soul-crushing event
• Women with ways to become more assertive and gain control over their lives
• Receive career counseling to get a better job
• Find solace with other women dealing with mid-life issues
• Help women realize their potential in these and many other ways

All of the services we provide cost money. Most of women who come here don't have money to pay for those services even with our generous sliding fee scale. That is where you can help. Fans, supporters and friends please consider becoming a Founder of the Women's Center. You can be a Founding Mother, Founding Man, Founding Family or Founding Team (or give yourself a title). Your financial support will be put to immediate use helping to sustain all of the services the Women's Center provides to this community. You don't have to give at the Founders level to help. Any amount you can spare will be welcome. We have donors who give at the $20/month level. Everything helps us continue to grow and improve the place where we all live. We welcome and encourage men to donate. You all have women in your lives and one of them may benefit from our services. As we know...women hold up half the sky. We are all in this together. Let us work together to create a thriving, sustainable organization that supports ALL members of this community.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
