Groceries & New Furniture for DV Survivors at AWC

Asalamualaykum Friends and Supporters of the Asiyah Women's Center!

We are very pleased to announce that we have secured a new location for the Asiyah Women's Center, and we are nearly ready to house domestic violence survivors and victims of homelessness!

We are raising funds to purchase new furniture, and supply the food pantry/and groceries the women and children who are seeking refuge from the violence that they experience in their lives for the next few weeks. Your contribution will ensure the safety of women and children in our community. And we are beyond grateful for your support. 

The Asiyah Women’s Center is the first women’s emergency center in New York City to address the gap of appropriate residential services for the Arab, Middle-Eastern, Muslim, South Asian (AMEMSA) and/or the Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) population. Our mission is to provide temporary housing for victims of domestic violence and women facing eviction, and/or homelessness.  By connecting under resourced women in our community to job opportunities, a range of mental health and medical services, permanent housing facilities, health insurance and legal assistance, we hope to empower women to get back on their feet and overcome their deeply traumatic personal circumstances.
