Helping Those in Need--The Women's Community


The first pay period of the new year comes tomorrow and with it will be a regular deduction to help support the work of The Women's Community in Wausau.

The Women’s Community is a non-profit organization serving victims of domestic abuse and sexual assault throughout Marathon County. They welcome victims of all races, religions, genders and sexual orientations. The organization serves everyone, including special populations that may face additional cultural or gender pressures — Hmong, Hispanic, gays/lesbians/transsexuals, the elderly, men, and those with hearing disabilities.

The Women's Community provides the following free services:

Confidential shelter, food and clothing
Making the transition to an abuse-free life
Counseling
Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse Advocacy
Services for children who have been abused or assaulted
Services for teens who have been abused or assaulted
Sexual assault services
Support groups for victims of domestic abuse or sexual assault

This is the link to their website--http://www.womenscommunity.org/

This is a local organization very worthy of support in any way you can. My contribution is not large but it will be regular and I know it will be put to good use.
