In lieu of a traditional chapter meeting this month, we're taking the opportunity to host a service day. Join Monroe County NOW and Sojourn House to create care packages for those in need. We will meet on Saturday, September 27, from 10:30am to 12:30pm at the Monroe County Public Library, Room 1B. Feel free to bring new supplies, like toiletries and socks, to add to the packages.

Sojourn House exists to defend, restore, and liberate women who have been exploited and trafficked. Their two main programs are the residential program, which provides two years of rent-free housing with a focus on healing and self-sustainability, and the community outreach program, where they meet women wherever they are to provide resources and support in a crisis. Sojourn House seeks to empower women and walk beside them on a path to true freedom from circumstances that keep them vulnerable to exploitation, like addiction, trauma, abuse, incarceration, and poverty/homelessness.
