With the advent of Women's History Month (and before we start our Spring 2023 season), we are happy to report that the recipient of a portion of league funds beyond our operational costs from our Fall 2022 season is The Women's Center of Raleigh. Their mission statement declares that the organization "serves marginalized single women experiencing severe and persistent health and homelessness, with histories of sexual assault, violence, and trauma. Through our clinical and holistic approach, we assist each woman in achieving her dream of transformation, and dignity." The Center provides a safe day shelter, in addition to crisis intervention, medical and behavioral healthcare, case management and counseling, employment support, meals and hygienic needs, instructional workshops, and so much more. We applaud the staff and volunteers for the important work they do, and we are honored that our league can offer support to this important local (LGBTQIA+ friendly) organization.
