One of WCST's most important services is the distribution of 911 phones to clients. These are old cellphones that are usually donated to us by the community that clients can use to dial 911 if they don't have a cellphone of their own or use of their own cellphone is not safe. 

Right now, we've run short on cellphones. If you have a cellphone or two lying around your house that you don't know what to with (and it still works), please drop it by our office. We need them! 

Call (541) 476-3877 if you'd like to donate cellphones (or other items) and need our office address. Thank you!

Donna, one of WCST's own volunteers, orchestrated over 75 Mary Kay make-overs for this contest and if chosen, will be selecting Women's Crisis Support Team as her non-profit organization. Donna is amazing!

On Thursday, April 18th, Women's Crisis Support Team hosted its annual SPEAK UP, SPEAK OUT event at the Anne Basker Auditorium in downtown Grants Pass. Attended by men and women of all ages from around the community, the event is aimed at opening up new dialogue around the topic of sexual assault, and giving survivors the space to speak their truth about their experiences. Featuring many of our own WCST staff, District Attorney Ryan Mulkins, and our new WCST Youth Action Team, the event brought members from all corners of the Josephine County Community together to speak out against domestic violence.
