New Bern Civitan Club club President Gary Todd presented Coastal Women’s Shelter Executive Director Amanda Delgado with a check from our Charity Budget at our April 14 meeting. Amanda spoke about how Coastal Women’s Shelter has served Craven, Jones, and Pamlico counties for over 35 years, and serves men and women in need of their services.
Coastal Women’s Shelter is the sole provider of no-cost, comprehensive domestic violence services in our area. Services include a confidential 24-hour crisis line, court advocacy, monthly support groups for women and children, tuition assistance, necessities such as clothing and food, resources for employment, housing assistance, and inter-agency information and referrals. CWS also provides employability services through a grant from the North Carolina Council for Women.
