During Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we would like to encourage all of our friends and supporters to consider a one-time or monthly recurring contribution to TWC’s Endowed Fund. This fund, housed at Bethel Community Services Foundation, is building a source of revenue that will continue to allow TWC the flexibility to meet survivors where they are when they arrive at the shelter- whether it’s funding a new ID for someone who has had hers taken by an abuser, stocking the shelter kitchen, or purchasing school supplies so that a child staying in the shelter can start the year with new pencils and notebooks. Click here to make a contribution! Quyana for all that you do!

We are so proud of Reyne Athanas, one of the original founders of Tundra Women’s Coalition, on her induction into the Alaska Women’s Hall of Fame. She has poured her heart and soul into our community and we are all so much better for it. In a KYUK article about her life in Bethel and induction into the Women’s Hall of Fame, Athanas states that, of all the amazing programs and organizations she’s started up here in Bethel, the one she is the most proud of is Tundra Women’s Coalition. We couldn’t agree more and are so grateful for her foresight.

Quyana Reyne, for everything you’ve done for Tundra Women’s Coalition and the community of Bethel!
