Celebrating 10 years of service to our community!

WIN is proud to celebrate 10 years of service to our community. WIN provides the bulk of its service programs to residents of Kent County and the adjacent areas of Queen Anne's County, Maryland. We limit our direct support to these areas; however, we have provided referral assistance to families throughout the state, country, and even internationally.
WIN has provided mentoring assistance to individuals seeking assistance, and to fledgling organizations seeking to make a difference in their own communities.
WIN Programs strive to fill unmet needs in our community, providing referral assistance to existing organizations and stepping in to meet needs when existing resources are either absent or inadequate.
Visit our Programs page for more information.


Our History

In 1997 a small group of friends witnessed a woman and her children suffering the devastating effects of economic and emotional crisis from an unexpected divorce and took action. We gathered together and supported her with our time, money, and prayers. We pooled our resources and covered her expenses as well as provided the emotional support she so desperately needed.

With the divorce rate currently exceeding 50%, men, women and children are suffering the devastating effects of broken families.
It is our goal to not only help these families but to locate and assist others through personal contact in order to empower and strengthen them both psychologically as well as financially.

In our desire to help as many families as possible the non-profit organization "Women In Need, Inc." was
formed to provide an alternative to welfare that fulfills the word and intent of the Book of James: "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world" James 1:27(NIV). Single parent families are the widows and orphans of this generation. We feel it is our Christian duty to provide the practical and personal touch todays families need.

Our changing community

Kent County has grown and changed over the years. The needs we once saw have changed. With the skyrocketing costs of electricity and heating fuel, senior citizens now represent over a third of those to whom we provide assistance with utility bills, prescription costs, and more. WIN helps single parent families, two parent families, migrant workers, and teens. As our community changes, so do the services we offer.
You can feel good about your donations, knowing that WIN partners with existing organizations to offer families comprehensive support to meet their needs, stepping in when existing services are either absent or inadequate.
