2013-14 WOMEN’S CENTER OF JACKSONVILLE Annual ReportIMPROVING THE LIVES OF WOMEN Dear Supporters, Donors and Friends, The Women’s Center of Jacksonville continued to expand its services to the community in 2013-2014. The Jacksonville Community Council Inc. (JCCI) study reinforced what we already know – that there is a tremendous need for mental health services for women in our community and thanks to a new grant from Baptist Health and continued support from the Women’s Giving Improving the Lives of Women Alliance through the Community Foundation, our counseling program was able to serve more women. Board of Directors A dedicated task force conducted a series of meetings throughout the year for the Sexual Assault Forensic Exam (SAFE) program. The Women’s Center President of Jacksonville received a signed Memorandum of Agreement with the City Alicia Grant of Jacksonville and effective October 1, 2014, the Women’s Center assumed Shirley Webb responsibility for this program.
