The Women's Home, Inc.

Our scholarship initiative is off to a GREAT start and there’s still time to get involved! The excitement around creating our own scholarship fund, with your help, has led to additional matching funds from our Board and former Board of Directors.

So, we are extending the time for our scholarship campaign through the end of June.

From now through June 2023, your donation will go twice as far and double your impact for women at a time when they are most vulnerable.

The Women’s Home is a safe place to begin recovery with a modest rent that has not gone up in many years, because of supporters like you. But even that is just beyond the reach for many women.

Some women don’t have a full first month’s rent and a scholarship makes up the difference. Some women need help because their job hasn’t started, or they have an unexpected expense, and their resources fall just short of being able to stay at The Home. But you can help secure their future.

We hope you will join us with a donation -- every dollar counts! You can donate by mail or online: www.thewomenshome.com/donate.

SAVE THE DATE! MAY 1 – 15, 2023.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS

WOMEN’S HOME SCHOLARSHIP FUND

** Members of The Women’s Home Board of Directors (current and former) are hosting a matching funds campaign to raise scholarship funds for current and future residents in need.

** Every dollar you donate between May 1 – 15 will be matched, doubling the impact of your contribution.

** Our program works because it combines the structure and accountability of community with professional counseling to bridge critical gaps in recovery.

** Through your generosity, we are breaking the vicious cycles of addiction. With your help, we can make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most. Your support can truly make a lasting impact on women and their families.

GIVE ONLINE: www.thewomenshome.com/donate

During the Women's Home year-end campaign, we ask for your support. Please help us raise $10,000 by December 31 so more women can find hope and begin their new lives at the Home.

Happy, healthy holidays to our friends, residents, and staff. The Women's Home is full of comfort and joy.

Resident gratitude:

"Being at the Women's Home has been such a blessing! It has laid the foundation for my continuing sobriety. I cannot thank you enough for the opportunity. I will be forever grateful!" -- Fondly, Kate

With the help of Women's Home counselors and staff, residents acquire stability, accountability, and skills to build sustainable sobriety.

Since the beginning of 2022, 11 women have celebrated lengths of sobriety of 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, six months, nine months and 1 year+. 4 women have maintained their jobs and another has started a new job. 3 women have transitioned out of The Home to their next phase of recovery, but come back to share dinner and meetings and their "experience, strength and hope."

Spring: a lovely reminder of how beautiful change can truly be.

Resident Gratitude:
“I have enormous gratitude for the gift to continue my treatment here at The Women’s Home. I’m discovering how to do life on life’s terms for the first time. I want to stay as long as I can. This community of recovering women seems to strengthen my sobriety, daily. What a great and solid start to living sober for life!”
— Jeannie
