The Mission of the New Day Advocacy Center is…
To provide a safe haven and support services to victims of Family Violence and Sexual Assault/ Abuse; and to provide Preventive Education which will challenge the cultural beliefs and attitudes about the use of abusive and controlling behaviors in our communities.
1 in 3 WOMEN and 1 in 4 MEN experience some form of physical violence by an intimate partner.
1 in 6 WOMEN and 1 in 33 MEN are victims of sexual assault.
SOME OF THEM ARE YOUR FRIENDS---YOUR CO-WORKERS--YOUR NEIGHBORS--YOUR FAMILY
For years, it was a silent problem. As time goes on, our community members are coming forward more and more often to report domestic and sexual violence. New Day Advocacy Center (formerly New Day Shelter) was organized in 1983 by community members to help victims.
New Day Advocacy Center has served Ashland and Bayfield Counties by providing emergency shelter, safety planning, assistance with restraining orders, legal-housing-medical advocacy, and emotional supportive counseling. The agency also provides prevention education to help end the scourge of domestic and sexual abuse in our community.\
The need for New Day's life-changing services has grown so much that it has outpaced the ability of our current building to provide these much needed vital services.
New Day has been searching for larger accommodations for over a year. In fall 2017, a suitable building was found. With our resources, we were able to obtain a loan and purchase the building, secure architectural services to design our new space, and hire a contractor. About 1/3 of the building has rental space. We are able to make mortgage payments and pay for utilities with the current tenants' rental payments.
However, we still need to accomplish the renovation of our portion of the building.
The renovation of New Day's new facility will cost $600,000
**Our current building has three bedrooms, which accommodate a maximum of three families of varied sizes. The hide-a-bed in the living room provides a bed for a one-person family. Current requests for shelter exceed the room we have. THE NEW BUILDING HAS SEVEN BEDROOMS TO ACCOMMODATE UP TO SEVEN FAMILIES IN A MORE SPACIOUS AND PRIVATE ENVIRONMENT.
**Our current office space is too cramped to accommodate our staff, which has grown by two people in the past few years. There is only one meeting room in our current building to meet with clients for confidential conversations. It often must double as overflow storage of client need supplies. IN THE NEW BUILDING EVERY STAFF MEMBER WILL HAVE INDIVIDUAL PRIVATE OFFICES TO CONDUCT CONFIDENTIAL CLIENT MEETINGS, AND THERE WILL BE AMPLE STORAGE SPACE. New Day provides more than emergency shelter (3/4 of our clients do not need shelter).
**Currently, victims who are coming forward to report abuse to law enforcement are interviewed by investigators. It has been difficult to find interview locations that are victim-centered. IN THE NEW BUILDING, IN COOPERATION WITH THE ASHLAND AND BAYFIELD LAW ENFORCEMENT, THESE INTERVIEWS WILL TAKE PLACE IN A DESIGNATED COMFORTABLE, WELCOMING ROOM THAT HAS BEEN DESIGNED AND OUTFITTED WITH THE APPROPRIATE EQUIPMENT FOR THIS PURPOSE.
**THE NEW BUILDING WILL HAVE A MEDITATION ROOM DESIGNED FOR QUIET RELAXATION OR SPIRITUAL ACTIVITIES.
Since it began 35 years ago, the New Day Advocacy Center, a private non-profit, has been well-supported by generous cash and in-kind donations made by our community members and businesses. Our long-standing major fundraising event, the New Day Limited, is over 20 years old and is an eagerly anticipated event held in May of each year. The large net profit we receive from the dedicated and generous community support of this fundraiser is a mainstay in our income budget. We also receive funding from Federal, State, City and County sources, and private foundations. All New Day Board members financially support the Center. These donations help save, heal and improve the life experiences of women, men and children who have been battered with family violence, violated with sexual violence, and left with injury, damage and hopelessness.
On behalf of hundreds of our grateful clients, thank you to our community whose loyal support has indicated they want a safe place of assistance for people in these horrible situations.
We hope you can help us achieve our Renovation Goal of $600,000, so we can transform New Day's new building into a safe and comfortable living and office space where the dedicated New Day staff can expand and provide our high quality services to some of the most vulnerable people in our community.
Please help us in whatever amount you find appropriate. Thank you for your consideration.
