Program History:

Resource and Crisis Center was organize din 1979 under the YWCA, as a volunteer run program. We became a serparate entity in 1985. In 2003 our name changed from Women's Resource and Crisis Center to simply Resource and Crisis Center to recognize the fact that we serve both women and men who are survivors of abuse.

Additional Information:
  • We welcome school-aged volunteers in our resale stores, where they organize and sift through donations. Our resale stores are an especially vital part of our organization, as a source of revenue for our programs, as well as a location for the women and children living in our shelter to obtain much-needed clothing and home goods.
  • School-aged volunteers are also welcome to volunteer in our shelter, but this must be done with a parent, if the student is under 17 years of age. Working with the women and children in the shelter is a very rewarding experience for many of our volunteers.
