“The Raven Resistance volunteers gave so much of their talents to the women and children in the Milwaukee Women’s Center,” said Andi Elliott, CEO of Community Advocates, which operates the Milwaukee Women’s Center. “We are so grateful for their generosity.”
The Milwaukee Women’s Center provides a safe space for residents, as well as supportive services to help them become independent and free of abuse. The Milwaukee Women’s Center also runs the Older Abused Women’s Program for women over 50 who are or have been abused or in a controlling relationship; a 24-hour crisis line staffed by volunteers in handling calls from domestic abuse survivors; the Nevermore Batterers Treatment program for men who want to take responsibility for their violent behavior; the Bottomless Closet, which provides free-of-charge work-appropriate clothing and services to men and women re-entering the workforce; the Positive Options for Women Entering Recovery (POWER) program for mothers and pregnant women who are addicted to drugs and/or alcohol; and the Family Intervention Program to break down barriers preventing Latino and African American individuals and families from seeking traditional counseling services.
“Domestic abuse doesn’t discriminate and it touches more lives than many people realize,” Elliott said. “We are so pleased that Raven Resistance stepped up and gave so much to the women and children served by the Milwaukee Women’s Center.”
