SUMMARY:GROCERY GIFT CARD (DONATION DRIVE)
DESCRIPTION:Going through a victimization often leaves you with a lot of surprise expenses and it can take a little while for our clients to adjust to their new budget\, so we try to assist with food and fuel as we can. Gift cards can truly help ensure that a victim who is getting on their feet has food and fuel when they need it. Grocery store gift cards can be used to help provide survivors and families with items suited to their specific needs. \n\nDonations can be dropped (or mailed) to: Montgomery County Women’s Center: 1401 Airport Rd\, Conroe\, TX 77301 (Attn: Siomara)

SUMMARY:MONTHLY DONATION DRIVE: GAS CARDS
DESCRIPTION:Gas prices are impacting Americans across the country\, and that includes victims of domestic violence. Along their healing journey\, we work with survivors to help them re-establish a sense of independence and empowerment. One way we do this is by providing gift cards to them throughout the year. That’s why we are hosting a gas card drive to help its clients get to and from work\, school\, errands and much needed services. From therapy to counseling to being housed at the emergency shelter\, it is crucial to keep these services accessible to the women and children who need them. \n  \nDonations can be dropped (or mailed) to: Montgomery County Women’s Center: 1401 Airport Rd\, Conroe\, TX 77301 (Attn: Siomara)

SUMMARY:New Years Community Clean Out Project
DESCRIPTION:The New Year is a time for reflection\, recommitment and… re-organization! It’s the perfect time to re-gift unneeded holiday presents\, get a fresh start with your wardrobe and donate to your favorite local thrift store – Something Special! \nSomething Special offers new and gently-used clothing\, accessories and housewares to the public. Vouchers are also provided for families in need to shop for free. The best part? Every Something Special purchase benefits families fleeing abuse in our community. \nNeed more motivation to clean out your closet? Check out five reasons why decluttering and donating will get your 2023 off to the right start: \n\n\nLess stuff = more time!\n\n\nSay goodbye to spending hours sifting through your closet. Imagine all your options hung up neatly and clearly visible. By paring down your wardrobe\, you’ll spend less time trying to find outfits and more time wearing the things you love. \n\n\nMake room for the things that matter.\n\n\nClearing out the old means making room for newer and better things to come into your life. Less clothes also means the opportunity to redecorate\, reorganize and make the most of your closet space. \n\n\nDeclutter to de-stress!\n\n\nSimplifying your environment by clearing out unused or unwanted items can improve concentration\, help you sleep and elevate your mood. Letting go is a natural\, healthy process in our growth that makes room for better things. \n\n\nSave money!\n\n\nGoing through your closet allows you to rediscover old pieces and reintroduce them to your wardrobe – you get the rush of a great shopping find without the cost! Plus\, re-familiarizing yourself with your clothes will stop you from spending money on things you already own. \n\n\nSave the planet.\n\n\nDonating your clothes benefits your community AND the environment. Donating and shopping secondhand means that clothes have a longer lifespan and don’t require as many resources as producing new clothes. \nGiving back isn’t just good for your community – it’s good for you too! Give yourself – and your old items – a new start this year. Declutter and donate to Something Special\, or give us a call to get assistance with larger donations (936) 441-4044 x: 53. \nDonations can be dropped at 2 locations: \n\nSomething Special Resale Store: 19073 I-45 South\, Shenandoah (in the Portofino Plaza next to Sam’s Club)\nMontgomery County Women’s Center Administrative Office: 1401 Airport Rd\, Conroe 77301

SUMMARY:Coffee & Cars For A Cause
DESCRIPTION:HOSTED BY THE WOODLANDS CAR CLUB\n\nPlease join us this Sunday\, Dec. 4\, 6:30-10:30 a.m. for The Woodlands Cars & Coffee for a Cause Charity Car Display & Annual Holiday Toy Drive @ Market Street!\n\n☆We are SO excited once again that 2 charities will benefit this holiday season from YOUR participation at this event in December!\n\n☆Montgomery County Women’s Center will be onsite to receive unwrapped toys that will be given to the mothers of the children who are clients of MCWC\, so they will be able to make their Christmas a little brighter. \n\n☆According to MCWC\, many victims & their children courageously walked through their doors facing a myriad of additional challenges this past year. Their shelter saw an increasing number of women who were pregnant\, had families w/multiple children\, & children w/special needs. Whatever their situation\, MCWC was available 24 hours a day\, 7 days a week as victims regained their voice & began to thrive. Without you and your support this would not be possible.\n\n☆Now more than ever in these challenging times we are in\, so many charities have fallen short with donations\, volunteers\, & many critical services needed are on the rise right in our own communities\, so your support means everything. https://mcwctx.org/ Montgomery County Women’s Center\n\n☆In addition\, this is the last Sunday for our 4th quarter charitable recipient: Community Assistance Center-CAC. They offer assistance with rent/mortgage\, utilities\, food\, & clothing for individuals in Montgomery County. TX facing a temporary financial crisis. Community Assistance Center https://cac-mctx.org/\n\nAlso\, I will be starting a new TWCC event t-shirt pre-order list for anyone who would like to order a shirt & the cost is $30. You can pay for the shirts this Sunday or mail a check\, and once we have the payments in-full\, I will place the order. There is a 50-quantity order minimum\, so hope we can get that going for the new year.\n\n☆Let’s make this holiday season extra special for the people in our community that need it the most! \n\nThank you ALL for supporting our mission in “Using Our Cars to Give Back to Our Community!” See you Sunday – Rain-or-Shine! ~Dana

SUMMARY:BLOW OUT THE STIGMA COMMUNITY EVENT
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to help us BLOW OUT THE STIGMA that surrounds domestic violence at our all day bubble blowing event! Snack and refreshments will be served. Stop by\, shop and blow some bubbles!\nSENIORS will receive 20% off their purchases (of regularly priced merchandise).\nSTIGMA: One very important issue we\, as a community\, try to battle. It’s the negative assumptions associated with being a victim of domestic violence. Many domestic violence victims suffer in silence. Enduring a steady pattern of abuse and humiliation at home\, they bravely attempt to present a solid exterior in public. Sometimes they pull it off; usually\, they do not. We notice the signs. Whether physical or emotional\, red flags are flying. \nIn such cases\, some people wonder why victims continue to deny the abuse\, which is often visibly manifest to those around them. The answer has to do with the way domestic violence victims fear they will be treated. \nContinuing education and community awareness of the dynamics of domestic abuse can reduce the perceptions of the stigma that cause many victims to suffer in silence. Encouraging reporting through support and empowerment\, by friends\, family and the community\, will help victims break the cycle of abuse and embark on the road to recovery. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:#ASKMEWHYIWEARPURPLE CAMPAIGN
DESCRIPTION:JOIN US IN WEARING PURPLE THIS MONTH!\n\nUse your social media to send a message to victims of domestic violence\, that you stand with them.\nShare a photo of you (or a group of you) wearing purple and share your “WHY”.\nMake sure to TAG us!!!! #WhyIwearPurpleTX Facebook: @Montgomery County Women’s Center Twitter & Instagram: @officialmcwc\nUpload one of your sample “ASK ME WHY I WEAR PURPLE” profile pictures to your social media.\n\n   \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \nMillions of people all over America are wearing purple for Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October. Will you join us? Since the early 1900’s\, purple and lavender have been used to represent women’s rights and causes. In October\, 1987\, the first DV awareness month activities ever held joined in the proud purple tradition. \nFreedom from violence is a basic human right – not only for women\, but for people of color\, abused LGBTQ+ persons\, trafficked people\, battered men\, and young people who suffer harm caused by the cruel assertion of power and control. \nDomestic and dating violence is not just physical harm. It also includes emotional\, mental\, financial\, and sexual abuse.  It can involve the victim’s possessions\, employer\, family pets\, extended family\, and others who are targeted in the abuser’s efforts to cause harm to the victim. In all cases\, the abuser uses controlling behaviors in a continuing cycle to get and maintain power and control. \nThe National Domestic Violence Resource Center reports that nearly 75% of Americans personally know someone who has been a victim of abuse. Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women – more than car accidents\, muggings\, and rapes combined. And while 85% of battered people are women\, 15% are not. In the U.S.\, domestic violence is so common that it happens to someone every 9 seconds. \nSo why do victims stay? Why does so much domestic violence go unreported? Victims stay because they’re afraid to leave\, and they leave when they’re afraid to stay. Many abusers control the finances\, leaving victims with no independent means of support. And ultimately\, reporting violence to the authorities increases the abuser’s anger and violence. Often\, it just isn’t safe or easy for people to leave abusive situations. In addition\, many batterers and victims drink and use drugs together\, making escape from violence that much harder.
