You Make A Difference

With your gifts of funds, time, service, and in-kind goods, you are becoming part of a long- term solution to ending homelessness. You are providing the support that women experiencing homelessness need to achieve their dreams, earn success, and provide for their families. Thank you for making this vital work possible.

YOUR GIFT CAN HELP END HOMELESSNESS FOR WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

At Women’s Empowerment, we are ending homelessness for women and children–for good. Your donation is an investment in brighter futures.

Women and children often come to Women’s Empowerment feeling as though the world has given up on them. By making a donation, you are letting them know that they have a community behind them. Your support makes our programs and services possible.

Thank you for being part of a long-term solution to ending homelessness!
