  • WRC Staff Supports our Work

    Women's Resource Center just completed our first staff fundraising campaign with 100% of full- time staff participating. Staff pledged $2,595 toward our annual campaign, with salaried staff making an average gift of $274. "I think that a staff campaign is important," says Amber Harris, Development Specialist. "It shows the community that we believe so passionately in our work that we are willing to put our own dollars behind it."


    Cells for Survivors

    Cells for Survivors is a community-based cell phone drive whose proceeds are used to assist women with the expenses of starting a new home. Cells for Survivors has already raised $5,000 toward its goal of raising $15,000 by Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October.

    There are three ways that you can help: 1) organize a cell phone drive at your place of business, recreation, or worship; 2) donate unwanted cell phones and their batteries; and/or 3) place a box for the collection of phones in your place of business, recreation, or worship.

    To donate cell phones or to organize a drive, contact Emily Rutledge at (404) 370-7670 or [email protected].
