Rumsey Indians Donate $500K to WEAVE

WEAVE, Sacramento's primary provider of crisis intervention services to victims of domestic violence, received a donation of $500,000 from Rumsey Band of Wintun Indians. The gift is the largest private donation to a $4M campaign to build a new 12,000 square foot facility for WEAVE.

The facility will go beyond just providing a secure, temporary home for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. WEAVE will also be able to offer on-site a more comprehensive range of counseling, parenting education and job skills training that will help its clients become self-sufficient and more likely to make a permanent break from domestic violence.

The Rumsey Band of Wintun Indians owns and operates Cache Creek Casino Resort.
