On March 4, IBEW 1245’s Winnemucca Retirees Club presented a $500 Community Fund donation to Winnemucca Domestic Violence Services, which offers free confidential services — including support, housing options, counseling, legal referrals, safety plan and much more — to those experiencing domestic violence or sexual assault.
Morlan also gave the retirees a short presentation about the work that WDVS does on behalf of families shattered by violence and fear, and their need for shelter and support during such troubling times.
“On behalf of our Retirees and the Club, we wish to thank IBEW 1245 for such generous support of this important service in our community,” Winnemucca Retirees Club Acting Treasurer Michael Dean wrote. “Your support provides hope for the future for many of those affected.”
