Churches United of the Quad City Area has received a very generous $10,000.00 grant from Community Resources Corporation, in support of Winnie's Place, our emergency shelter serving women (and their children) who are homeless and/or victims of domestic violence. Last year, Winnie's Place served a total of 113 women and 103 children residentially, provided 3263 lodgings, and answered 887 crisis calls. It is through the generosity and caring of individuals, churches, foundations, and corporations like CRC that Winnie's Place continues to make a difference in this community.
Churches United has a 54-year history of reaching out to our community. Its 136 member churches represent 50,000 people from the Quad City Area. As well as Winnie's Place, Churches United operates 26 food pantries and 3 hot meal sites in the Quad City Area. For information about services offered, or ways to support Churches United, call 563-332-5002, or visit our website at www.CUQCA.org.
