3rd Annual Peace Begins at Home Dinner

Washington Women’s Shelter, Inc. is  hosting our 3rd annual Peace Begins at Home Dinner on October 10, 2008. More details will be made available closer to the date, but we want to make sure that everyone has it marked on their calendars.  We are looking forward to a great evening and hope you will join us.

Donations

We have resumed accepting gently used donations. Because we have very limited storage space we are constantly updating our list of items we need.  Please call 724-223-9140 to check on our current needs and make arrangements for drop-off.

A Celebration of Our Achievements

On Saturday, May 10, 2008, the Washington County Women’s Network will be hosting “A Celebration of Our Achievements” from 12:00 - 4:00 p.m. at Washington Crown Center. For the past twelve years they have held this event, consisting of informational booths, employment opportunities, and recognition of individual women in the community who have succeeded against the odds.  We will be there with information on our services.  Please stop by and say hello!

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 77 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.

HAVE AN OLD CELL PHONE?

Do you have an old cell phone sitting around?  If so, donate it to Washington Women’s Shelter, Inc.  The phones are refurbished and reprogrammed, then distributed to women in need. There are several locations where you may donate your phone.  You may take it to our Administrative Office in Room 624 of the Washington Trust Building, Monday - Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Phones may also be dropped off at Robert Maceiko’s office (the Canonsburg Tax Collector), Wes Banco, or NexTrac Communications in Washington.  If you have any questions, please contact us at 724-223-5481. We would be more than happy to help you organize a cell phone drive at your organization. We would also like to say “Thank You” to everyone for all of their support and assistance to make this project a success!
