WG Clients Merge to Expand Services

 
Congratulations to two Winkler Group clients on their successful merger.  CODA and Hope Haven have joined forces to create Hopeful Horizons, a new nonprofit that provides victims of child abuse and domestic violence with more comprehensive services.  
 
The organizations, both fiscally strong with proud histories of serving their communities, have collaborated for years.  
 
Of the merger, Director Shauw Chin Capps remarked, "When we think about child abuse, domestic violence, and sexual assault, often we have this silo mentality. We think child abuse occurs in a vacuum when often these three issues intersect."
 
We applaud their vision to unite and build a more efficient and effective way to serve victims.
