CWJC is an organization that truly touches the lives of women in the community who need a hand up not a hand-out.  The women who come to CWJC do not always know exactly what they need when they arrive but by the time, they finish the classes they gain way more than they imagined.  Some of these women come because they need to complete their GED or to gain some knowledge about computers or even themselves and their relationships with others. The various classes are taught by volunteers, but the materials used in the classes are part of the CWJC budget.  Giving to CWJC helps to provide the resources and materials that the women need to succeed, get a job and provide for their families.  When I became a part of CWJC in 2007 as a board member, I was able to see first-hand how the program makes a difference in the lives of the women.  When you hear a graduate of the program talk about her life before and after CWJC either at a graduation ceremony or at Baskets of Hope, one becomes “hooked” to want to be a part of the change.  Supporting CWJC by giving either monthly/yearly or at Baskets of Hope help the operations of CWJC flow and provide the tools and resources for the women.  Therefore, I give to CWJC, to be a part of the change in a woman’s life so that she can be a change in her family’s life.
