Thu, 10/23/2014 - 8:45am

New Hope for Women is pleased to invite the community to an open house on Oct. 30 from 3 to 6 p.m. at the organization’s new location in Wiscasset.

Located at 41 Water Street, the Wiscasset office is close to the Lincoln County Courthouse and the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, and offers easy access to Route 1.

The open house provides an opportunity for the community to meet with New Hope for Women staff, including Wiscasset Community-based Advocate Julia Hatfield and Lincoln & Sagadahoc County Youth Educator Bonnie Johnson, plus other community partners who are working together towards lifting the barriers for victims of intimate partner violence.

Hatfield and staff are appreciative of the town of Wiscasset which has shown its support of all persons affected by intimate partner violence by displaying a purple-lit tree in the town common. Area businesses have endorsed the effort through widespread participation in the “Glowing and Showing” purple campaign.

For more information about the open house, call the Wiscasset office at 207-882-6322.
