We at RCCCM are painfully aware of how difficult the economy has been for people over the past few years. In 2008 we had 15 staff at the Center and today we have 8. Like everybody else, we have had to tighten our belts and cut back expenses just in order to survive. It has largely been due to the generosity of people like you, who have donated their hard earned and scarce dollars, that the Center has been able to continue its work.
NOW, MORE THAN EVER, WE NEED YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT! Our programs
and services are being jeopardized through massive state & federal budget cuts along
with the significant decrease in private donations. That is why we are asking YOU to
step up your sponsorship support.
The Rape Crisis Center of Central Massachusetts is doing everything in its power to end sexual violence and care for the Survivors, but we know we can not succeed alone. We need each and every one of you to join our efforts, and to help us convince others to do so also. We need every woman, man, and child in our Community to stand up and say “I can make a difference, and I will make a difference, starting right now! I will take steps to end this violence within MY Community!” Each of us has the power to be the catalyst for change; to be the voice of those who can not speak for themselves, and to make a difference in the effort to end the abuse. By donating today you can help make it possible for our Agency to continue providing critically needed services to the victims of sexual violence, their families, friends and community through support, counseling, medical & legal advocacy, emergency shelter, education and after school programs.
We need your continued support:
$250.00 Buys printing and distribution of brochures to local School/College/Hospitals.
$100.00 Pays for a Rape Survivor to receive supportive services at a Hospital Emergency
Room.
$50.00 Pays for 15 Teenagers to be taught healthy relationships and ways to reduce their risk of
being Sexually Assaulted.
$25.00 Provides a Recovery Workbook for adult Counseling Group Member.
$10.00 Pays for Arts & Crafts supplies for teens in our afternoon Support Groups
NO donation is too small. Large or small, we rely on the support of compassionate individuals
like you to continue this important work.
