Women’s Giving Fund selects Peace House Transitional Housing Project for 2017 Impact Grant

We are over the moon excited and grateful to be this year’s choice for the Women’s Giving Fund Impact Grant. The $30,000 grant will symbolically underwrite the first Transitional Housing Unit in the future Peace House Community Campus – providing much needed safely and support to women and children after fleeing abusive homes.
