Drop-in
Resorces Center
Our Resource Center offers a prized resource for many women:
a retreat to collect one's thoughts. A still place to gather
strength.
Sometimes,
something so simple can be a great blessing.
With
comfortable furniture, inspiring artwork, snacks and refreshments
our resource center enables women to relax in ways that
are sometimes rare. We encourage our clients and women in
need to drop by, anytime the Women's Collective is open
(M-F 9:00 am to 5:00 pm).
