We are putting out a call for funding to provide socks for our Welcome Home Kits. With the weather turning colder requests for socks continue to rise. Please visit our "
Contribute"
page for information on how to donate. Ten dollars buys several pair of good socks.

Thank You!

Our society can be extremely judgmental and unforgiving. Women who have served their time in the Wisconsin Women's Correctional System and are looking to make a better life for themselves and their families when they re-enter our communities deserve to be treated humanely and with compassion. They DO NOT deserve to be discriminated against for housing, health care and employment. They DO NOT deserve to be told that living in substandard housing is all they deserve and to get used to it because they are 'felons.' The stigma that goes along with incarceration is a heavy burden and society SHOULD NOT add to that burden by deliberately making these women's lives harder or turning a blind eye. We WILL NOT be quiet about this. And if WE DO NOTHING we are complicit in the oppression of these women.
