Schuylkill Women in Crisis Capital Campaign 2020

“In a space that promotes physical activity, victims will be able to participate in a wide array of activities shown to help ease depression and anxiety. The release of endorphins resulting from these activities provide psychological and emotional benefits that can help them to gain confidence, increase social interaction, and develop healthy coping skills.”

- Kimberly Hashin, M.D.

Why a Garden?

As we have all now shared the experience of living through a pandemic, we likely recognize the benefits of being outdoors. The garden will provide a safe space for victims of all ages to enjoy the outdoors and receive services in a setting designed to promote healing and growth. Significantly, space for a small short-term kennel will be included so that victims need not choose between their safety and leaving their pets behind.

The garden will be safely enclosed on the shelter site in a space that has been largely unusable. While early investments have enabled us to address some issues, we still need your help!

Each year more than 200 victims who come to shelter will benefit from the garden. The increased size of the space will allow for nonresident victims to also participate in garden activities.

History and Evolving Needs:

Advances in understanding trauma have proven that it has significant, long-term negative health consequences for those who experience it. SWiC has developed services to meet the needs of victims and we now ask for your help so that we may better respond to some of our community’s most vulnerable.

You can also make a contribution by phone or mail. Please call 570.622.3991 or make check out to “SWiC” and mail to:
