**CHARITY**
For Bhangra in the Burgh 18, we plan on donating to The Women’s Center &
Shelter. The Women’s Center & Shelter is a comprehensive domestic
violence program annually serving over 7,500 adult and child survivors of
domestic violence in the Greater Pittsburgh area, as well as providing
psychoeducational and intervention services for anyone affected by
domestic violence. Their mission is to meet the individual and evolving
needs of those affected by domestic violence by investing in the growth of
our people, deepening community engagement, and amplifying the voices of
all survivors. Please consider checking out their website at
wcspittsburgh.org on ways to support this meaningful effort. Bhangra in
the Burgh 18 hopes to utilize our reach and efforts to empower women in
the Bhangra community and beyond!
