Often, families coming to our office for assistance are experiencing a temporary food crisis.  Maybe the car broke down and there was no wiggle room in the budget.  Maybe they are waiting for their Food Stamps to begin.  Either way, these women have no food, no money to buy food, and often have children.

 

To address this increasing need, WRC is forming an emergency food bank, where we will store non-perishable items to help families weather temporary crises. 

 

You can help! Consider buying an extra item every time you grocery shop (buy-one-get-one or penny coupon items are great for this!).  Organize a food drive in your neighborhood, school, job, or place of worship. Help your children set up a neighborhood (or park) lemonade stand and use the proceeds to shop for items. Use your imagination and pitch in any way you can!

 

Please call (404) 370-7670 for more information or to drop off your donation!  All gifts are tax deductible.

Mark your calendars for WRC's annual Candlelight Vigil to commemorate Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
