Berks Women in Crisis’ vision is to provide supportive services to victims and eliminate domestic and sexual violence in Berks County.

Join us as we raise awareness and money to take a stand against domestic violence and sexual assaults against women and children with Walk a Mile in Her Shoes® on Saturday, June 15, 2013.
Go to www.bwicwalk2013.eventbrite.com to register. The walk begins at 11 AM and ends at Art on the Avenue, approximately .8 mile.
