Good Books
Jewish Women International's National Library Initiative is working to establish 100 children's libraries in homeless and domestic violence shelters throughout the country.  WRC is proud to be #30.
 
Barbara and Gene Hirsch with Dedication PlaqueOur library was generously donated by Barbara & Gene Hirsch.  "I learned about the Library Initiative a through my cousin," said Barbara Hirsh. "It sounded like such a good way to give the children, who were victims of domestic abuse, a safe place to enjoy reading and learning.  Providing the children with a book or two when they leave the center will further encourage them to continue reading.  It is my pleasure to be part of such a worthwhile endeavor."
 
Children's Library at the SafehouseAll of JWI's libraries include at least 250 brand-new children's books; three bookcases; one child-size rocking chair; an adult rocking chair; a child-sized table and four chairs; and one large colorful carpet.  WRC is grateful for the difference that this new space will make for the hundreds of children who stay with us each year.
A New Club for Men
Many thanks go out to the men (and women) who participated in our 2009 Father's Day Campaign.  In it, participants make a public declaration that they will stand against domestic violence in our community and make a financial pledge to support programs for survivors of domestic violence.  This campaign is made possible by the generosity of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
