It’s clear for WEN. Women need support more than ever. Women struggling don’t just need help finding work or learning financial skills, they need a network of... support. WEN supports the whole woman with personalized coaching, offering a network of support that addresses her job search, budget, credit, career development, and personal development. We see first-hand the very real financial consequences that are being borne largely by women, and disproportionately by BIWOC (Black, Indigenous, and women of color) right here in Kansas City. Your support ensures that women in our community, like Kami (pictured above with Lynnette Williams, WEN Vice President Program and Services), can continue to count on WEN’s support. Read Kami's story at kcwen.org/supportwomen. Make a gift of $10, $25, $50, or any amount now at kcwen.org/donate for #GivingTuesday. See more

We had a mental health crisis happening before the pandemic, but it’s been amplified by the layers of stress this year. A recent study showed 2 out of 3 adults are depressed or anxious because of the pandemic.

Check it out here it starts October 14: www.smallchangesbigshifts.com/kindness (PS: We think you should join us!)
