Services
We Offer
The Women & Family Life Center will celebrate its 20th year
of incorporation in 2010. Originally run from the basement
at a local church, WFLC now conducts business from a
historic home near the Guilford Green. Our facilities
include administrative offices and program space in
a converted 220 year-old home, as well as large program
space in a beautifully converted barn. The facilities
were purchased in 1999 through the generous support
of individual donors in the community.
Current programs and activities fall under one five
distinct but complementary categories:
| • |
Education |
| • |
Enrichment & Wellness |
| • |
Support |
| • |
Referral |
| • |
Supervised Visitation |
Our goal is to provide a safe and intimate
setting for women and families to face changes and challenges
in their lives with grace, dignity and community support.
Services at the Center are available to women and families
from any town, though we primarily serve Branford, Guilford
and Madison. Most of our programs are offered free of
charge and scholarships are available for those that
have a fee.
Our space is available for rental to the community. We can accommodate groups up to 20 comfortably. Please contact Linda Knudsen Westgard at 203-453-6699 or email lindawestgard@snet.net for rental fee information.
