WRC Receives Grant from J.Jill Compassion Fund

Women’s Resource Center is pleased to
announce that it recently received a $15,000 grant from the
J.Jill Compassion Fund!
The funds will be used to support
WRC programming that helps low-income single
mothers become economically self-sufficient.

WRC was one of only 28 organizations nationwide to receive a grant from the J.Jill Compassion Fund. You can visit their website for more information about the Compassion Fund.

Thanks, J.Jill, for your generous support of WRC!

Transform a Life

The clients of WRC are a bright spot amid all the grim news.

Clients like Barb are determined to make a difference in their lives and in the lives of their children. Barb was out of work, struggling to overcome addiction, and could not support her young grandchildren who lived with her. Barb met with a WRC Employment Specialist who helped her put together a plan of action, write a resume and cover letter, and navigate a computer.

Barb eventually enrolled at Grand Rapids Community College, where she is now on the Dean's List! She also volunteers as a mentor to other WRC clients. Barb learned to believe in herself and achieve her dreams.

Your financial support of WRC helps give disadvantaged women the "hand up" that they need to create their own growth and change.
