In time this ministry will provide a non-threatening environment where women and children can feel accepted and encouraged....The Center will provide support ministries and counseling especially for women who have been sexually abused, disabled, and those who have lost a loved one to death or divorce. The Center will also provide job training, life skills instruction, and appropriate clothing for both women and children. Currently the Center is located at LeClaire Christian Church. We do hope to be in our own location by spring of 2008.
