Schuylkill Women in Crisis launches E-Newletter

Schuylkill Women in Crisis is a private, nonprofit domestic violence organization that has served the Schuylkill County community since 1983. All services are free, confidential and provided to all victims regardless of sex.

Now SWIC is reaching out via the Internet with its new E-Newsletter. Each month's edition will include topics of special interest to supporters of the local domestic violence agency, as well as special events and fundraisers.

The fall issues include a contest to name the monthly volunteer and community column. The winning entry will receive products from The Grateful Thread, SWIC's weaving shop. The Grateful Thread, a weaving business operated by Schuylkill Women in Crisis, will be open for holiday shopping from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Tuesday, December 1, through Saturday, December 5. Come see many popular items available in seasonal and holiday colors and also the handmade artistry of several consignment artists. The store is located at 20 North Centre Street, Pottsville. And check out The Grateful Thread’s new website and online store at www.gratefulthread.org.

To be added to the mailing list, visit SWIC's Web site at www.s-wic.org or e-mail swicagency@comcast.net.

In addition to assisting victims, Schuylkill Women in Crisis is working to confront the societal issues that contribute to this problem. SWIC is motivated by the belief that all individuals are entitled to live free of the fear and pain caused by emotional and physical abuse. While the agency provides services to all individuals regardless of gender, they acknowledge that women and children are most vulnerable to this problem.
