HELP of Door County Receives Grant for Transitional Living Program from Gannett Foundation

The Gannett Foundation presented HELP of Door County with a grant of $2,500 to support HELP’s Transitional Living Program. Steve Vickman, executive director of HELP of Door County, said, “HELP is incredibly grateful to the Gannett Foundation for their generous support of this much needed program which provides not just rental assistance to individuals fleeing domestic violence situations but also works with them to develop real-world life skills like financial management. Often, individuals leave domestic violence situations with little more than the clothes on their backs and may never have managed their own bank account. This program provides a support mechanism to lead domestic violence survivors on a path of both personal and financial independence.”
