Greetings Friend,
 
As we prepare for our 50th anniversary celebrations, we are filled with immense gratitude for the community that has stood by us every step of the way. Today, we have some exciting updates, powerful new resources, and a special milestone to share with you.
Celebrating 50 Years of The Willow!
 
This year marks an incredible milestone: The Willow is officially celebrating 50 years of service! For five decades, we have worked tirelessly to support survivors and build a safer community, but we didn’t do it alone. You were there with us.
To honor this journey, we are collecting stories, memories, and reflections from previous volunteers, staff, and community members who have been part of our history. Whether you volunteered for a single event or worked with us for years, we want to hear from you!
