In Our Words

“I was isolated - got through the door and did some programs - everything was right there. I've clicked my heels and I've come home.” -Women’s Center Participant

“From our very first visit we felt welcomed by the warm, child centered atmosphere.” -Family Center Participant

“When I first came to the women’s center, I was in a bad place. They took me in and nurtured me with conversation and creativity. The bad place was going away. They allowed me to teach two art classes, Healing Through Color. I worked with the children, which lifted my spirits. I have seen others come in and go through the same process. They seem to crawl out of a shell, as did I. Thank-you.” -Women’s Center Participant

“This place saved my sanity.” -Women’s Center Participant

“I was able to regain custody of my son because of the help you gave me in finding an apartment.” -Basic Needs Participant

“The center has been an oasis to me. As a new mother, in a new neighborhood, I was thrilled to be introduced to this welcoming and inviting place.”   -Playgroup Participant

“The baby is only 8 weeks old.  There was a lot offered in the area when I was pregnant, like prenatal and birthing classes.  But, we haven’t been able to find an actual parenting class anywhere.  We were so happy to hear about this support group” -Parent to Parent (P2P) Participant

“I’m learning how to put other things aside and spend more time reading to my son.   Before I know it, he’ll be in preschool.  I don’t want him to think of books and reading and studying as something he is forced to do...but something that he loves…” -Connecting Through Literacy (CTL) Participant

“I’ve had the best friendships come out of this place ... the best because we all started in the same place.” -Women’s Center Participant
