Support the TWC Endowed Fund during DVAM!

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!
