Womens Outreach

 

Reaching women who are vulnerable to exploitation and human trafficking is a key part of our work here at Because Justice Matters. There are a number of ways in which we do this: outreach events that reach women located in the Tenderloin district, spiritual and emotional support for women seeking options out of their situation, free nail painting as a tool to engage women, referrals and assistance for women seeking rehabilitation, services and housing, partnerships with other non profits and government agencies and various awareness events in the Bay Area.

'Blessed are the Feet' April 24th, 2010

At the end of April we are hosting a womens outreach event called 'Blessed are the Feet...' where we will be giving away shoes to women. To do this we need 100 pairs of shoes, shoes, shoes! Please consider donating a pair, hosting a shoe drive at your church or purchasing a pair to give! Here are the details:

Shoes: We need donations of sensible shoes. Please do not bring dress shoes or high heeled shoes. Examples of shoes we would like include; womens tennis shoes, flats, slip ons, sandals, boots etc. If you choose to donate used shoes please only give shoes in good condition which are clean. Even better, consider purchasing a pair of new shoes as a gift for a lady. All womens sizes are welcome.

Where: Please bring shoes to 357 Ellis Street before April 16th.

For questions please contact Rachael@becausejusticematters.org

This is a great group project so consider getting your family, work or church involved!!

Manicure Anyone?

Having their nails painted makes every woman feel good! We are currently using nail painting to engage with women in the Tenderloin of San Francisco. Many of them are trapped in prostitution, drug addicted and needing time out from the pressures of the street. Receiving a free manicure enables them to take a break, feel encouraged and allows our staff 15 minues of uninterrupted conversation! This is a great way to offer spiritual support and referrals. Please consider making a donation of nail polish, polish remover or files to support this outreach.
