CHALLENGE #22 - 2015

WINGS
Paladine, Illinois

  **** CHALLENGE COMPLETED ****

Although the Wings organization was started as an advocate for homeless women and children, WINGS expanded 30 years later to become one of the largest domestic violence service and housing providers in the state of Illinois.  Single women and women with children are able to receive temporary safe shelter through WINGS housing while staff provides one-on-one, individualized assistance that allows women to set personal goals that will enable them to work, continue their education and care for themselves and their children.

For WINGS:

Regarding the numbers - Beth at WINGS indicates there are about 3 children for every adult.  You will see that reflected in the increased number of slippers for children and fewer for women.

CHALLENGE #21 - 2015

HOPE & JUSTICE PROJECT
Presque Isle, Maine

*****CHALLENGE COMPLETED*****

The Hope and Justice Project began thirty years ago as the Battered Women's Project but changed their name in May, 2010, to project a new, positive name to help better reach out to those who needed their services.   Their shelters are located in northern Maine, not far from the Canadian border.   In 2012 they housed 807 women, 45 men, and 239 children.
