WCH Memorials and Honorariums

Remember WCH in your will.
Click here for Women and Children's Horizons' Foundation Brochure.

Mr. Tim Elverman of Milwaukee, Wisconsin has generously given WCH a donation of $5,000.00 in honor of and as a memorial to his parents, Honorine and William Elverman. In Mr. Elverman's words, he was raised in Kenosha by two wonderful parents and somewhat took for granted his mother's advocacy for women in Kenosha County until later in life when he saw the love and respect shown for her by the younger women she had impacted. WCH was one of his mother's favorite organizations, and she appreciated the wonderful work that Women and Children's Horizons did on a daily basis to make the lives of women and children in Kenosha County more happy and healthy.

WCH History

Women and Children’s Horizons was established in 1976 and is the oldest incorporated shelter in Wisconsin. The foundation for Women and Children’s was set in April, 1976 when a Kenosha Vista supervisor became disturbed by statistics which showed the undeniable seriousness of domestic violence against women. Together with twenty two other women and men, the group set up WCH's first 24 hour crisis line.

With only one public service announcement, the response to the crisis line was staggering, fielding 50 calls within a 24 hour period. Recognizing the strong community need, the group legally incorporated Women’s Horizons, (later renamed Women and Children's Horizons) in October 1976. Today WCH is a well respected agency in the Kenosha community and has broadened its mission and extended services well beyond the 24 hour crisis line.

WCH Services

Women and Children's Horizons provides a 24 hour crisis line and shelter, children's services, hospital advocacy, domestic and sexual victim advocacy, transitional living, legal advocacy, group support and a certified batterers' treatment program for both men and women. WCH also provides a food pantry, clothing closet and household goods storeroom. Many programs are offered in Spanish and English.
