Woman's Place Receives Grant

Woman’s Place Awarded Boeing Employees Community Fund Grant

 

Woman’s Place, 8300 Morganford Road,  the only nonresidential, drop-in center in the region for women who have experienced emotional, physical or sexual abuse, has been awarded a $2,100 grant from the Employees Community Fund (ECF) of Boeing St. Louis.  The funds will be used to support the Self Empowerment Workshops for Women and Survivors of Abuse.

 

Self empowerment workshops are a critical piece of the holistic response to domestic violence offered at Woman’s Place.   Women who are served at Woman’s Place receive crisis intervention and referrals to deal with their immediate situation. Workshops and support groups are important next steps so women can develop the self-assurance and confidence they need to break what can be a cycle of domestic abuse.

 

All services, including workshops and support groups, are offered at no charge. There are no eligibility requirements for assistance at Woman’s Place.

 

In announcing the grant award, Angela Most, secretary/treasurer, Employees Community Fund of Boeing St. Louis, commended Woman’s Place for its commitment to make the community a better place for all of us to live and work.

 

Woman’s Place is located at 8300 Morganford in South St. Louis County in space shared with St. Louis Crisis Nursery and at 4116 McClay in St. Charles with the Sts. Joachim and Ann Care Service in the Tri-County Outreach Center. For more information about Woman’s Place call (314) 645-4848, (636) 373-7911 or visit www.womansplacestl.org
