Serenity House in Oakland California offers services to women escaping prostitution. They are expanding their services and have just opened a home in Oakland for long term supportive housing for women. PRE eagerly supports this survivor-run agency that is providing the housing that will help women escape prostitution.
The Serenity House staff are dedicated to helping other women but are not paid enough. They are volunteering too much of the time. They need vacation days, sick days and a 40-hour not a 60-hour work week.
Please support Serenity House and their programs and their staff. All contributions help. Large contributions from committed donors help the most – if you know someone who wants to support these essential services, please ask them to give generously.
