Every spring in time for Mother’s Day, JWI’s Mother’s Day Flower Project sends beautiful bouquets to 150 battered women’s shelters across the U.S., including the Social Service Center, while raising funds for initiatives that work every day to educate communities, empower women and break the cycle of abuse.

On a single day in September 2008, nearly 61,000 victims of domestic violence were served by DV programs across the country (up from 53,000 the previous year); more than 21,000 hotline calls were answered; and almost 9,000 requests for services were unmet due to inadequate funding or lack of available staff to assist these victims.
