Testimonials from those we help
TESTIMONIALS
It is so beautiful to see women helping women. When women,
like those in the IWCC take time to assess what resources they
have and give to those who may be in more need, we are very
grateful. Successful Pathways is a human service agency that
provides services to those pregnant and parenting in the inner-
city of Rochester. We provide Case Management, psycho-
educational groups, and mentoring to the young families. As
they reach goals of earning GEDs, making resumes and finding
employment their earn "Boutique Bucks" where they are able to
"purchase" donations from the community for their families and
their homes. Thank you deeply for partnering with us, together
we are helping these young families find straight paths! We
appreciate you IWCC.
The IWCC Dante Scholarship has supported me in my graduate
studies. Nazareth College prides itself in exemplary education
and I am grateful to be able to receive my masters in Speech
Language Pathology with a deafness specialty at Nazareth with
the support from the IWCC. The IWCC has also shown me what
it is like to be a woman in Rochester who is aware of the needs
of others. I believe that I am following their work through my
own community involvement and global service. Thank you
IWCC!
The Italian Women’s Civic Club has been
donating items to the Isaiah House over the
past two years. Last year an angel was
donated which I placed on our Christmas tree
in the garden. That evening we had invited all
of our families to our garden to place a ribbon
on our tree. The angel welcomed our families
back to our home. In the midst of the pain
there was hope and love. The fact that the
angel arrived the very day of our tree lighting
felt mystical and made it feel like Christmas. I
can’t thank the Italian Women’s Civic Club
enough for their support of our ministry to
the dying.
Gratefully,

IWCC has been a wonderful support to Angels of Mercy. Your group
has always been there to support our efforts as we strive to bring
FREEDOM, DIGNITY and RESTORATION to women who have been
affected by life-controlling issues. We are all about Women Moving
Forward and as one women's group to another, we certainly
understand what that means.
Your members have helped give hope, show mercy and extend grace
to the hurting. You have also come along side us to support our many
fundraising efforts and helping to spread the word.
You are a blessing and I will forever hold IWCC close to my heart. As
you know, IWCC is a group that has been a part of my family forever.
With gratitude and Love.
I am grateful to have received the Dante Scholarship
for the past two years. This scholarship gave me the
opportunity to study abroad in Salamanca, Spain
without having to worry about the financial burden.
I will always remember and appreciate the
generosity of the Italian Women Civic's Club, as they
allowed me to go on an eyeopening journey that
changed my life for the better.
