October Shared Offering: A Woman's Place

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and our shared offering, A Woman's Place, part of the Center for Women in Transition, is our local domestic violence shelter providing refuge for women locally in Urbana-Champaign and surrounding areas. The shelter provides a number of critical services for women and their children including free counseling, healthy relationships and skill-building programs, protection, and domestic violence services. As many of us know, during economic recessions, social services are hit the hardest. Your financial contributions for A Woman's Place will support their critical programs and services that help keep survivors of violence safe in our community. To learn more, contact A Woman's Place located at 1304 E. Main St. Urbana, IL 61802.
