On Tuesday June 20, 2023, the Vernon Women’s Institute (VWI) met for its monthly meeting.
The guest speaker was from Naomi’s House in Winchester. They gave us information on how it is run and the services it provides to protect women with or without children that have been physically, emotionally, sexually or financially threatened or harassed.
Naomi’s House provides confidential, safe and secure services and resources, shelter services, child and youth programming, transitional housing support services, and a 24/7 crisis line.
The VWI donated to this great program and are very thankful for all the services they provide and for taking the time to spend with our group.
