"Soroptimists inspire action and create opportunities to transform the lives of women and girls by: advocating for equity and equality; creating safe and healthy environments; increasing access to education; developing leadership and practical skills for a sustainable future."
This statement came to life when a group of dedicated volunteers put together "Welcome Baskets" containing household supplies and personal items. Each basket thoughtfully filled with everything a woman would need for a fresh start (literally and figuratively!), these baskets show Amethyst women that the community is supporting and encouraging their recovery.
This May, to raise funds for service projects like this, the Soroptimist International hosted a Lunch at Tiffany's & Style Show. Amethyst was invited to sit a "Table of Honor" during this fabulous luncheon event. Each organization honored had the opportunity to share more about their program and personally thank the Soroptimist for their commitment to the women and families in recovery. The event was a huge success and wonderful opportunity to share Amethyst's mission!
If you would like to get your organization, club, group, or corporation together to help our women and families in need, we would love to have you! Please contact the Amethyst Development Office at (614) 242-1284, ext. 115 or lnickell@amethyst-inc.org.
