Woman's Resource Center
The Women's Resource Center was founded in the 1970's by a group of women from Central Baptist church in Wayne, PA.
- Their goal is simple to educate, support, provide counseling, provide housing and advocacy to end domestic and sexual violence.
- Most people know it as the big yellow house on the old hospital grounds, but they have expanded.
- Those whom are housed in the emergency housing pay their own "rent." As their "rent" they have simple household chores. Similar to what a parent might give a teen.
- Together in that house they heal and try to move on from their experiences.
- It's also kid friendly! There is a toy room set up in the front of the yellow house and in the backyard there is a play structure.
Women's Resource Center does different things to raise money.
- A store is set up which is a resale store.
- It's like a Goodwill. You drop off your gently used items to the store for a tax deductible. In turn you are helping families in need and getting money back.
- The store is located right next to pizza hut on US31.
How the Women's Resource Center can help you!
