3 C’s Luncheon

On April 3rd, we had the privilege of attending the 3 C’s Luncheon, a powerful networking experience dedicated to fostering connections and support within our community. This event provided an invaluable opportunity to meet and engage with incredible women who could benefit from our services as they navigate the challenging process of leaving difficult domestic situations.

Beyond that, we were able to build meaningful relationships with other organizations that share our mission of empowerment and support. By collaborating with these groups, we aim to streamline resources and enhance the transition process, ensuring these women receive the comprehensive assistance they need to move forward with confidence and stability.

Transform your revenue-generating, social responsibility, and procurement efforts into a powerful force for social change. Support our efforts to give more underserved individuals and re-entry citizens a second-chance at entrepreneurship.
