SEEDS OF LOVE:
Dear Pilgrim Rest,
As we reflect on 2024, we are overwhelmed with gratitude for your partnership in Convergence Resource Center’s mission to bring hope and healing to women rebuilding their lives after trauma. Your generous support has been instrumental in helping us empower women to reclaim their futures and create lasting change in our community. We celebrated 20 years of service and moved into a new space. We have served over 280 women. As we enter a new year, we plan to offer a Warm-Call Center. This center will serve as a lifeline for survivors of human trafficking and justice involved women, offering immediate access to emotional support, crisis intervention, and essential resources around the clock. Your support remains the foundation of everything we do. Thank you for standing with us.
With deep gratitude
