Genesis Women’s Shelter & Support’s fourth annual First Ladies’ Bruncheon on Saturday, September 25 at the Belo Mansion! Kicking off Domestic Violence Awareness Month, this spectacular “plum garden” affair, complete with the fanciest parade of hats, soulful gospel music and a powerful call to action: this celebratory event will recognize the courageous members of the faith community who are joining in one voice to declare that violence is never okay.
Also Genesis is opening a brand new non-residential counseling and advocacy center in Southern Dallas on Lancaster Road! Just like at the Lemmon location, the site offers individual and group therapy with master’s-level counselors for women and children, access to civil legal services, domestic violence education, advocacy and on-site childcare for those in counseling sessions. Adjacent to this counseling location will be a new Genesis Benefit Thrift Store which will serve not only our clients, but the community as well. All funds raised from the First Ladies’ Bruncheon will underwrite the opening and operating costs of this new Genesis Outreach location; better serving the community of Southern Dallas.
