About This Cause
The Women’s Community, Inc. is a private, non-profit organization serving the survivors of domestic/sexual abuse with support services, a 24-hour crisis line, counseling, advocacy, and a life-saving shelter. The Women’s Community, Inc. (TWC) is a private, non-profit organization located in Marathon County, WI. The Women’s Community was established in 1978 to meet the unmet needs of area women and families. Since 1978, TWC has grown from a small women’s drop-in center staffed completely by volunteers, to a community agency with a staff of 28 and a volunteer staff of approximately 50. Our services include life-saving shelter, domestic/sexual abuse support services for victims and their children, a 24-hour crisis line, counseling, and advocacy. Services are available in English, Hmong and Spanish, for men, women and children. The Women’s Community also has an on-site food pantry. Our shelter includes private individual rooms, community living space, a playroom, a community kitchen and dining area. We hope to make our residents stay here as convenient and homey as possible. It is our philosophy to empower the individuals we are in contact with. All TWC services are funded by local, state and federal grants, the generous support of numerous individuals and corporations, the United Way of Marathon County, and fundraising activities. All services are free because no victim should ever have to pay for getting the help they need. Our Mission is to provide specialized services and resources to people in central Wisconsin affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, and unemployment. Our goal is to help individuals and families attain greater emotional and economic self-sufficiency. Our Vision as a model organization that empowers communities and individuals who have survived the effects of violence and oppression through the provision of quality programming, advocacy and education. The ultimate goal is to reduce/eradicate violence.
