We had such an amazing time at the WFC Walk for Hope to End Homelessness this past Sunday! This year, all donations for the event go toward supporting Project REACH’s Robyn’s House, WFC’s transitional living program for homeless youth.

Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors and community members, this year’s walk brought over 150 walkers and raised over $20,000!

The SACS team is so grateful to have been part of this WFC tradition and look forward to next year!

The work to prevent sexual violence continues beyond April. As we celebrate 25 years of SAAM, we remain committed to supporting survivors and strengthening prevention in our communities.

WFC has been a pillar of support for individuals in need long before the establishment of SAAM, and we hope to continue this important work for many years to come!

Every voice matters. Every action counts.

We believe you.

April is not only Sexual Assault Awareness Month, but also Child Abuse Prevention Month! Pinwheels for Prevention is a nationally recognized campaign to promote child abuse prevention through awareness and community action.

At WFC, we strive to provide advocacy and support for child survivors of sexual violence. This month, we look forward to coming together with community partners at the Pinwheels for Prevention event hosted by the South Central Child Advocacy Center at University of New Haven next Tuesday, 4/28 at 1:00 pm!

For the remainder of April, WFC will have pinwheels planted in the ground outside of our main offices. They look so beautiful when the wind blows!
