N Street Village Bethany Women’s Center – December 2011

There are certain times of year when our thoughts turn to giving — birthdays, anniversaries, and of course the winter holiday season. N Street Village client Wanda Reese has learned firsthand that at Bethany Women’s Center the season of giving continues all year long.

Every morning, Wanda makes her way to Bethany Women’s Center, our drop-in day program. She enjoys a warm breakfast and a nutritious lunch, attends exercise and art classes, and participates in a variety of groups that focus on communication and problem solving. But what Wanda gains most from Bethany Women’s Center is the love and support of a community that empowers her to take chances, help her peers in need, and share her voice.

Each day, Bethany Women’s Center offers services, support, and community acceptance to women who need it most. This warm welcome often encourages women to seek additional services — such as case management, addiction counseling, or employment training — and contributes to each woman’s path to recovery and self-sufficiency.
