Time to Shine Makeover Project for Washington Women’s Shelter, Inc.
The Time to Shine shelter makeover project has been initiated by home staging experts Mary Fasnacht, of Feels Like Home Interiors,
and Diane Beck, of Vibrant Interiors. Mary and Diane are donating their design knowledge and skills to help update and redecorate our shelter facility so we can continue providing a welcoming and comfortable
place for those in our community needing safe refuge from domestic abuse. These folks deserve a welcoming environment that helps them feel comfortable during this very stressful time in their lives.
Our current shelter location has served more that 32,000 individuals since we opened the doors in 1984.
Housed in an older home, time and the sheer number of guests have taken a toll on both the facility and its furnishings. Simply, the shelter is in desperate need of a makeover: The Time to Shine shelter makeover project.
The total cost of the Time to Shine project is estimated to be between $40,000 and $50,000 - with the final cost dependent upon the
amount of goods and services donated. If you would like to participate, please contact Mary or Diane for more information:

ENDOWMENT FUND
While our wish is that the services of Washington Women’s Shelter, Inc. will not be needed in the future, the reality is that domestic violence is all around us. In order to meet
the demand for domestic violence-related services in the future, our Board of Directors has initiated an agency endowment at the Washington County Community Foundation (WCCF) to encourage current and planned gifts
from the community.
All gifts to the Washington Women’s Shelter, Inc. Fund at WCCF are fully tax deductible and the Foundation has the ability to accept a wide variety of assets as gifts, including cash, securities, life insurance and real estate. Checks should be made payable to “WCCF-WWS” and mailed directly to WCCF at 331 South Main Street; Washington, PA 15301. For other types of gifts, please contact the Foundation at 724-222-6330. Thank you for thinking of the future needs of our community.
