Founded in 1977, the Center for Women in Transition (CWIT) provides vital services to women, men and families affected by domestic violence and sexual assault. Each year, CWIT serves more than 3,000 individuals across Ottawa and Allegan counties, with offices in Grand Haven, Holland and Allegan.
CWIT services include emergency shelter, support groups, legal advocacy, transitional housing, trauma therapy and more. Its trained advocates provide all services free and in confidence. CWIT also engages with our local community via violence prevention and education programs, including domestic violence in the workplace trainings, K-12 school dating violence prevention, Girls on the Run, and faith community outreach.
Hope Church has supported CWIT through its benevolence budget and via members Jane Dickie, Les and Carla Beach, Gordon Wiersma, Bette Williams and Angie Griffore who have all been active in leadership or service to CWIT. For more information visit www.cwitmi.org.
