In the spirit of Women’s History Month I am taking a moment to focus on The Women’s Center of Raleigh. They were nice enough to reach out so I wanted to take a moment to highlight

They work with single women and their families experiencing homelessness and are looking for both volunteers (to help provide meals) and donations (of goods and financial: link here) to help with their guests.

Last year they worked with over 1,800 women in the area and the need for assistance is still growing into this year as well. If you are interested in learning more or volunteering, please check out the link below or reach out at info@wcwc.org.
