History

How we started...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. Not only do we help these families but we locate and assist others through personal contact in order to empower and strengthen them both psychologically as well as financially.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why we were formed

"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.
