OUR MISSION AND PHILOSOPHY

Women’s Services strives to meet the needs of the children and adults of Crawford County who are in crisis due to domestic violence, sexual violence or homelessness, by developing and offering programs and services that meet those needs.  Honoring the roots of the organization, we place special emphasis on the needs of women and children.

As an organization, Women’s Services strives to exemplify and promote a feminist philosophy in all activities. At the heart of this philosophy is the belief that each individual has the right and responsibility to be self-determining and to make choices that are appropriate to her/his life. Each individual knows what is best for her/his life.

OUR HERSTORY

Women’s Services, Inc. began in the late 1970’s through the efforts of a small group of concerned men and women with a mission “to meet the needs of women and their children in Crawford County by sponsoring, facilitating, and developing programs that meet those needs”.  Women’s Services began as a local grass roots task force under the direction of the Crawford County Drug and Alcohol Commission. In 1977, the task force organized as an independent organization, thereafter known as Women’s Services, Inc.   More
