Re-New↘
Empowering survivors of domestic violence by giving them a beautifully furnished home and a new beginning.
Re-New at the YWCA creates beautiful homes for women and their children who are leaving Weaver Domestic Violence Center and getting a fresh start. Before Re-New, the YWCA could only provide these clients with a new place to live. Since most of these women were starting with nothing, it was often weeks or months before they could furnish their new homes. Re-New solved that problem. Re-New is run completely through volunteer efforts. Founded in 2010, Re-New has furnished more than 250 homes of survivors starting their lives anew.

“Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! I can’t believe this is happening! Everything looks AMAZING! A new crib for the baby, bunk beds for the girls, my very own chest of drawers! Re-New has done SO much for my family. It’s simply overwhelming!”
-Christan, Domestic Violence Survivor and Re-New Client
