Profile
Coastal Women for Change began in January 2006. This group began out of a concern that there were very few instances where the residents of Biloxi came together as a community to discuss and take part in the long range community planning and rebuilding. Knowing that in every community there are lots of concerned women who want a vibrant, healthy and safe community for their family to live in, and that there are a lot of threats to that, especially since Katrina, a group of women came together to talk about what was happening in our community, what issues and problems we face, and how they could be addressed.
Although the group began and meets in east Biloxi, it is open to any woman on the coast that would like to attend. Communities across the coast are facing many similar issues. We believe there is value in coming together as a community, because some issues can seem insurmountable when considered alone, but when you get together with others, there is strength in those numbers. All women, young and old, new to the group or there since the beginning, are welcome to participate fully in any meetings or activities of the group.
In part, due to the generous funding of the 21st Century Foundation, Coastal Women for Change became a recognized non-profit organization on May 8, 2006. The efforts of CWC has quickly become the model of grassroots involvement throughout the community on across the coast .
CWC is currently operating under a small grant from the 21st Century foundation. We want to continue our current activities as well as expand our ability to assist in the community wherever needed. With your involvement and tax deductible donation CWC can continue to operate and grow.
