I take this work very personally because it pretty much saved my life. I love that I’m able to train women that were just like me and guide them. So I’m gonna be here forever. It’s my career now, that’s how I look at it.
Let Your Legacy Be Saving Women’s Lives
The Downtown Women’s Center recently launched its legacy circle. Thus far, 36 people have joined, writing the life-changing nonprofit into their bequests.
For Vikki Vickers, a one-time DWC resident, it’s about the best investment you can make.
“Ninety eight percent of women housed at DWC never return to homelessness,” Vickers says. “In giving money to DWC, you are saving a life, changing a life, giving them a foundation, support, and someone to trust. You’re not just giving money, you’re actually saving a life.”
Please consider making the Downtown Women’s Center part of your legacy.
