The Women’s Center (TWC) was established in 1973 as a Women’s Health Clinic. The Center has evolved over the past 40 years to meet the changing needs of the community. Today, TWC serves more than 4,000 women, children, men, youth, families, and non-offending caregivers each year in 14 Southcoast communities. Programs include Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault, Child & Adolescent Trauma, including two emergency domestic violence shelters, a specialized shelter for women, transitional housing programs and a 24 hour hotline, and Education and Community Outreach.
To commemorate this milestone, TWC is holding a 40th Anniversary Gala on Thursday evening, October 17, starting at 6:00 pm at the Hawthorne Country Club, North Dartmouth. The Gala will include dinner, dancing, silent auction, entertainment by Umoja and historical displays. Tickets are $40 per person and are available online at www.thewomenscentersc.com or by calling Annie at The Women’s Center at 508-996-3343 x38.
The 40th Anniversary Gala will be a memorable evening celebrating the work of hundreds of volunteers, staff and community partners throughout the years who helped create The Women’s Center that we have today. We would like to reach out to anyone who was connected with TWC over the past 40 years, invite them to the Gala and ask them to contact TWC so that we can add them to our mailing or email list. If you’d like to attend but cannot afford the full ticket price, please call Rebecca at 508-996-33436 x25.
