There’s still time to purchase tickets for Tuesday’s benefit for Women Against Abuse at Panorama Wine Bar. I will donate a percentage of any art sold through the event to Women Against Abuse.
$20 tickets include gourmet hors d’oeuvres and sommelier-selected wines. Panorama Wine Bar recently received a glowing review from The Philadelphia Inquirer’s food critic, Craig LaBan.
The mission of Women Against Abuse is to provide quality, compassionate, and nonjudgmental services in a manner that fosters self-respect and independence in persons experiencing intimate partner violence and to lead the struggle to end domestic violence through advocacy and community education.
Women Against Abuse strives to provide a continuum of care—from telephone crisis counseling to long-term supportive housing—in a manner that promotes victim safety, autonomy and dignity.
- Safe Havens: Since 1977, Women Against Abuse has operated Philadelphia’s only safe havens for victims of domestic violence.
- Legal Center: The Women Against Abuse Legal Center is among the first in the nation dedicated to victims of domestic violence.
- Sojourner House: Women Against Abuse operates the region’s first transitional housing program for abused women and children.
- Safe at Home Program: The Safe at Home Program provides survivors with community-based case management services and financial assistance to safely transition to homes in the community.
- Philadelphia Domestic Violence Hotline: Women Against Abuse leads the 24-hour, citywide hotline, a central point of access for crisis counseling, safety planning and referrals.
- Community Education and Training: Women Against Abuse educators train professionals, students, survivors and community members to effectively intervene in the cycle of abuse and avoid unhealthy relationships.
