Women’s Voices Chorus in the Community

Each summer, we give a benefit concert at which, in lieu of selling tickets, we collect voluntary donations to support a local charity. Organizations that we’ve supported in the past include:

  • Compass Center for Women and Families: The Compass Center helps individuals and families build stable lives by increasing self-sufficiency and preventing domestic violence.
  • Church World Service-Durham: CWS staff and volunteers connect refugees and immigrants with community resources and social services in order to meet their immediate needs and to help clients gain the skills and tools critical to achieving long-term self-sufficiency.
  • Augustine Literacy Project: The ALP has trained more than one thousand volunteers to provide long-term, one-on-one instruction to low-income students with reading difficulties.
  • Kids Summer Meals Program: Run by the Food Bank of Central and Eastern NC, this program provides food to children in low-income neighborhoods during the summer months when they do not have access to school meals.
  • Inter-Faith Council’s Community House: The new Community House will offer a transitional program to help residents recover from homelessness, rebuild their lives, and become productive members of the community
  • The Arthritis Foundation: The Arthritis Foundation’s mission is to improve lives through leadership in the prevention, control, and cure of arthritis and related diseases.
  • Arts for Life: A program dedicated to enriching the lives of seriously-ill patients through visual art, creative writing, and music.
  • UNC Lineberger Cancer Center: The Lineberger Cancer Center is a leading cancer research and treatment facility.
  • CASTLE: The Center for the Acquisition of Spoken language Through Listening Enrichment is a program to help educate and support deaf and hard-of-hearing children and their families.
  • Paws4Ever: A guaranteed-adoption animal sanctuary located in Mebane, NC.
