Sojourner Project is February Focus
The Glenn in Minnetonka was the setting for the February luncheon. Judi Nelson, Community Outreach Coordinator for the Sojourner Project, spoke to us about their programs.
Sojourner is a shelter agency for battered women and children in the western Hennepin County suburbs. Services include a 24-hour crisis line, emergency shelter, safety planning, legal advocacy, individual and group therapy, support groups, and life skill groups. Judi encouraged us to be sensitive to those we come in contact with, to recognize the signs of physical or emotional abuse, and to help the person seek safety and shelter. As a service project, members brought donations, mostly baby items, and Judi graciously accepted them on behalf of the women currently housed at the shelter.
