At the meeting held on July 25, 2023, Rotarian Rick Trevathan and wife Cindy Trevathan hosted Jennifer Turner-Lynn, Assistant Director of REACH of Macon County a domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking organization. Jennifer was introduced to the rotary meeting by Rotarian Mark Chmar.
Jennifer spoke on the ongoing efforts to help those in the area with housing, protection, job opportunities, and a better life away from their abusers. Jennifer told of the damage to the current shelter from the “Great Freeze of 2022” and the hopes to have everyone back in by end of current week.
Jennifer also advocated for help, getting a new office building for REACH, where persons could come and meet with counselors, medical professionals, and others for help in a more private and secure location. REACHS goal is to gain funding for a 2-million-dollar complex to meet those needs.
