FRIENDS OF WRC'S MISSION
FRIENDS OF WRC ROLE
Established in 2006 “Friends of WRC” members enhance WRC’s ability to provide quality services and activities for the children residing within WRC’s Housing. We believe children are the silent victims of domestic violence. Our goal is to contribute to a sense of normalcy while they receive life changing services at WRC. We have supported close to 14,000 children and raised almost $140,000 as a result of the generosity of our supporters within the community.
