Emergency Shelter
Hundreds of women and children call our shelters "home" during any given year. While there, participants receive much-needed emergency suplies such as food, clothing and toiletries. CWS is entirely dependent upon community donations to fill these needs.
Women staying in shelter receive counseling and case management services to begin the healing process and begin planning for their futures. Often this entails advocacy on behalf of participants to obtain much-needed medical, legal and other services.
Several nights a week shelter residents gathered for domestic violence classes and self-care groups. These offer opportunities for women to share their experiences, to learn more about the dynamics of family violence, and to focus on their own needs.
