My Nonprofit Reviews

As the executive director of the Will County Children's Advocacy Center -- a NFP, child-focused, coordinated response center that provides hope, healing and justice for children who have endured severe physical abuse, sexual abuse, sexual exploitation, neglect, and exposure to violence -- I can't say ENOUGH good about the GFWC-IL PLainfield Junior Womans Club!

I have had the opportunity to partner, support, and observe the GFWC-IL PLainfield Junior Womans Club for over 13 years, and have ALWAYS been nothing but impressed with their consistent commitment to the community. Their members are energetic, enthusiastic and engaging, and are seen as REAL leaders in the Plainfield area. Their hard work (which they always make look fun!) makes a REAL difference in the community.

In 2019, our founder/board chair Will County State's Attorney Jim Glasgow presented the HEROIC SERVICE AWARD #RealHeroesDontWearCapes to Plainfield Junior Woman's Club, represented by President Kristen Robertson and members Shelby Hammond, Cyndi Fulco and Lucia Rossi-Nichols, for their extremely passionate support of the Will County Children’s Advocacy Center. Their monthly meetings begin with a pledge to fight violence and abuse, and over the years, they have shown their commitment to that pledge by donating a large amounts of hand-tied fleece blankets and new books for children who have endured abuse and receive services at the CAC. The Plainfield Junior Woman’s Club has provided much needed financial support of the Children’s Advocacy Center’s Paws-4-Kids pet therapy program designed to comfort the children who come to the Will County Children’s Advocacy Center. Additionally, two of their members are active participants of the Will County Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children Coalition founded by State’s Attorney Glasgow.
