The Womens Center Essentials

Last Sunday, local bands @hvactech.band @locally_sourced_weaponry and @phuzz_the_band took the stage at @local506 to put on a night of live music benefitting Compass Center that raised over $1,400! We are so thankful to the bands, venue, and community members for coming together to help support the work we do with survivors. Be on the lookout for more events like this one!

We welcome donations of working cell phones for people in our community experiencing relationship abuse; many use these as a lifeline to call 911 if they do not have a phone or are worried their phone could be taken or damaged by an abusive partner. If you can reset the phone and have the charger that goes with it, all the better! Give us a call at 919-968-4610 or email communications@compassctr.org to arrange drop-off at our office in Chapel Hill.

We're hiring! Read more about our open positions and how to apply on our website - https://www.compassctr.org/employment-and-internships
