A Woman's Fund Last week the state said they would "expedite" our payments and that we would "hopefully" have a payment sometime this week. Today we found out that it will be at least 30 more days before we receive our "expedited" payment. This money is already overdue, but now we're told that we have to wait even longer. In the mean...time we will do all we can to continue providing services to those who need them. Very frustrating.
A Woman's Fund A big thanks to everyone who has donated!! Your support is keeping our doors open. It is great to know that our community cares.
