Overview

Mission

To provide emergency shelter for women and their children; financial aid and education; community and resource referrals; and basic essentials to residents of woodford county who find themselves homeless, victims of domestic violence, or in any other crisis situation.

Operating model

Revenue model

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
