We are proud to be partnering with the Women’s Resource Center for a fundraiser to help support their invaluable work in our community. The Women’s Resource Center advocates for the personal empowerment and economic self-sufficiency of women and girls in La Plata County.
During the month of June when you purchase a limited edition 1/8th or pack of WYLD gummies a portion of the proceeds will go directly to the Women’s Resource Center in Durango, CO. Each purchase of a benefit item will come with a complimentary sticker, and that feel-good feeling that comes from helping valuable non-profits in our community.
These 1/8ths will be eligible for mix-and-match 1/2 ounce and full ounce discounts! *Please no further discounts on these 1/8ths. Coupons cannot be applied to benefit 1/8ths.
We will also be collecting donations for the Women’s Resource Center! If you wish to donate above and beyond the purchase of benefit products you can leave a monetary donation in the collection jar in our lobby.
About the Women’s Resource Center:
Started by a group of local women in 1987, the Women’s Resource Center was established as a one-stop shop where women could discover community resources. At the time, our area was realizing an increasing population of single and divorced women who had limited job skills and education, and who lacked the means necessary to meet basic familial needs, such as food, clothing and shelter. Community resources were scarce, difficult to find, and challenging to navigate alone, making it hard for many women to begin their journey toward self-sufficiency.
Over the years, WRC has evolved and experienced many changes. More programming is offered and we are no longer limited in scope as a crisis center. We have become recognized locally as “the place to go when you don’t know where to go” to overcome personal, financial and emotional hurdles. We have expanded to serve women and girls in all phases of their lives by adding education and programs for youth, professionals, and entrepreneurs. As the needs in our community continue to change each year, we identify categories of need and align our programs to ensure each community member has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
WRC now gives voice to client ideas and concerns by creating opportunities for them to become involved in volunteer, committee, board, and staff positions. We witness women move beyond crisis, circle back for additional resources once their basic needs are met, and then give back to the organization by donating to the cause, providing programming, and holding key positions within the organization.
WRC remains true to its original purpose of connecting women in need to critical resources, and has evolved into a place where women can obtain the necessary skills and tools to experience success and thrive.
