Keep Hope Alive for Single Black Mothers

Our HERS Group remains a major part of Community Initiatives of Wisconsin! This support group for single mothers and women of underserved communities continues to provide a large impact towards the women who attend our programs, as we share and discuss the struggles of their lives and give words of support along with access to free resources such as diapers for their young ones.

And as CIW continues to expand, so too does HERS. CIW has recently acquired a new office space in New Berlin, WI with the aim of bringing our programs to the people and communities of New Berlin. HERS will play a major role in our New Berlin office as we plan and schedule new meetings with clients from New Berlin and provide resources for them.

We look forward to seeing where the growth gets bigger and larger.

PCI has been through a major change these past couple of weeks. We have rebranded our organization from Pointters to Community Initiatives of Wisconsin. We feel that this name better emphasizes what we do as a non-profit, providing community support across the state of Wisconsin, not just restricted to the Fox Valley area. In addition, PCI has changed it's location from the Goodwill office in Menasha to the LEAVEN's building that is also located in Menasha. As a major non-profit in the area, we created a joint partnership to serve more members of our community, from African mothers to fathers looking for work to support their families, and many more individuals.

Ultimately, the goals of CIW are the same as they were with Pointters, but with a drive to improve and make stronger our commitments and reach. We are in the process of negotiating for a Berlin office to serve members in the Berlin community as well.
