Chamber of commerce gives domestic violence prevention firm $9,000

Every year, The Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce Network of Enterprising Women (CNEW) chooses a different, local nonprofit and raises money throughout the year at their quarterly events. On January 17, CNEW presented the 2022 nonprofit of the year, Empowerhouse, with a $9,000 check.

Four events took place over the past year as part of the fundraising effort: The Women's Symposium, Fashion Show, Wine & Nine, and Annual Silent Auction and Awards are all important initiatives that help to empower and inspire women in our community. The $9,000 check presented to Empowerhouse is a testament to the work that CNEW puts in and the impact that we have in our local communities. Empowerhouse provides confidential domestic violence assistance. The organization serves the city of Fredericksburg and the counties of Stafford, Spotsylvania, King George and Caroline. Services include a free and confidential 24-hour hotline, temporary and emergency shelter, information, referrals, and advocacy.
