Orange County Uplift Foundation donates $1,000 to WISEPlace in the name of Kathie Bowman to help create room at WISE Place that will honor her for her 22 years of service at the women’s shelter.
WISEPlace, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization, is a community of housing and hope for women in crisis. Formerly the South Orange County YWCA, WISEPlace has a 90-year history of caring for the community. By meeting basic needs such as housing, clothing, physical and emotional nourishment, as well as vocational and life skills training, the WISEPlace Hotel for Women is one of the few places unaccompanied homeless women can go to begin again.
