"Women will leave a violent situation six to ten times before they make the final break," explained Kendall County Women's Shelter Executive Director Kim Keeter. The brand-new Kendall County Women's Shelter opened in April 2012, and it's already nearly full. Additionally, a recent survey by the Center for the Advancement of Women reported that an, “… overwhelming majority, 92% of women polled, indicated that domestic violence and sexual assault are their top concern…the group prioritized women’s safety as the top issue on which a women’s movement should focus. 

“Communities can help women who may be experiencing the effects of violence in their everyday lives, including the church. For every 100 women in the United States, 25 will be victims of domestic violence. Help us build a generation of power! “One size does not ‘fit all’, nor does it effectively support all.” We offer a way for you to support your parishioners and clients alike.
