Our Mission

To empower women and their families by providing support, education, counseling, information and services.

The Women's Center strives to address the needs of women by giving them a step up towards safe, healthy, self-sufficient lives.

Every day, women come to us without the ability to provide for themselves and their families. These women often are abused and battered, and looking for advocacy, guidance, and support. Thanks to our volunteers and loyal supporters who give so much of their time and resources, and the benefits of grant awards, the Women's Center is able to provide counseling services, financial assistance, career guidance, job training, transitional housing, and victim advocacy. The Center is proud to be able to help annually over 10,000 women and their children who seek out our assistance.

Helping women to help themselves means making it possible for Women's Center clients to not only support themselves, but to become active and proud participants in the community. By supporting the Women's Center through your time, talent, and treasure, you give the gift of hope and you change lives for the better…forever

Ruth Cote Clemente Volunteers of the Year (2006)

This year, the 2006 Ruth Cote Clemente Volunteer of the Year Award goes to Patti Coleman! Meet Patti once and you’ll know why. Her contagious enthusiasm for the Women's Center is inspiring and her accomplishments have been significant and tangible. Only two short years ago, Patti was instrumental in forming the Board of Directors for the Women's Center Guild. She now serves as the Board’s VP of Fund Development & tirelessly executes fundraising endeavors. Patti also implemented the, “Partners Program”, which has successfully brought in large-scale donations and has raised the bar of our common goal of helping more women in need than ever before. Patti is an enigmatic ambassador of the Women’s Center and truly deserving of this honor.

The honored nominees for the Second Annual Ruth Clemente Award were: Claudette Acacia, Susan Boulware, Diane Breitfeller, Ruthann Genoni, Joy Iventasch, Kathy Ojeda, Mischel Ostovich, Nadine Sluder and Sue Tompkins. Also recognized is the selection committee of Audrey Lopez, Robin Brasswell, Ann DelGaudio, Dottie Gatti, and Norma Silverstein
