WEAVE (Women Escaping A Violent Environment) has not increased the number of beds (35) it has to offer in 20 years. But that will all change soon - as soon as they meet their $4M fundraising goal for a new 80-bed center

They have collected 60% of it (with help from a recent generous $500K contribution by the Rumsey Indian tribe).

The new larger shelter will allow the not-for-profit to serve more women (they currently serve 750 a year), will provide more services and training, and will allow those in need to stay longer, as they try to sort out their lives.

This is a great organization that provides empowered choices for women who are in desperate situations. Please consider supporting WEAVE. Check out the website to also find out where you can donate clothes to their benefit store.
