Churches United of the Quad City Area is pleased to announce that The Scott County Regional Authority has awarded us a $10,000.00 grant, in support of much needed renovations to Winnie’s Place. This Emergency Shelter celebrates its 10th anniversary this year as a shelter for women (with or without children) who are homeless and/or victims of domestic violence in the Quad City Area. We are very thankful to SCRA for its continued support of this shelter, and its sustained care and concern for this community.
Churches United has a 55-year history of reaching out to our community. Its 136 member churches represent 50,000 people from the Quad City Area. As well as Winnie’s Place, Churches United also operates 26 food pantries and 3 hot meal sites. For information about services offered, or ways to support Churches United, call 563-332-5002, or visit our website at www.CUQCA.org.
