Evansville Rescue Mission Unveils Sidewalk Clings to Highlight Realities Faced by Women in Our Community
July 30, 2024
The Evansville Rescue Mission is proud to announce the installation of powerful sidewalk clings across the city. These clings depict the realistic situations that many women in our community are currently facing. As part of our larger awareness campaign, this initiative aims to shed light on the urgent needs of homeless women and children and to rally community support for the Susan H. Snyder Center for Women and Children.
The sidewalk clings can be found at the following locations:
1. Victory Theatre
2. Locust St & SE 4th St
3. Evansville Arch
4. Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library – Central Branch 5. Metropolitan Evansville Transit System (METS)
6. Cosmos Bistro
7. Penny Lane Coffeehouse
These installations are designed to capture the attention of pedestrians, creating a visceral connection to the struggles faced by women and children in our community. By bringing these stories to the forefront, we hope to inspire compassion and action from the public.
“Our goal is to raise awareness and generate the necessary funds to complete the Susan H. Snyder Center for Women and Children,” said Kyle Gorman, Executive Director of Advancement at the Evansville Rescue Mission. “We are currently at $7.5 million of our $9 million goal, and we need the community’s help to close that gap.”
The Susan H. Snyder Center for Women and Children will be a transformative resource, providing safe shelter, educational opportunities, job training, and comprehensive support services. It is designed to empower women and children, helping them to achieve stability and independence.
We invite the community to join us in this crucial campaign. Your contributions will directly impact the lives of many, offering hope and a brighter future to those in need. Together, we can make a significant difference.
