Thank you to all who visited and participated in our Virtual Annual Prayer Vigil to honor and remember domestic and sexual violence victims who have died in Alaska.
This year and last year we held the vigil virtually due to the ongoing pandemic. It's our greatest hope that we can come together as in years past and hold this vigil in person.
2021 Annual Membership Meeting
~ Thank You ~
Thank you to everyone who attended our Annual Membership Meeting over Zoom this year. The membership reelected three current board members: Heidi Barrett-McNerney, Selida Guitron-Padilla, and Hailey Thompson and passed a bylaws amendment.
Like our Annual Prayer Vigil it is hoped that we can hold this in person next year.

“Every November we observe Native American Heritage Month to celebrate Native Hawaiian, American Indian, and Alaska Native peoples and their diverse cultures, achievements, and contributions,” said Chairman Schatz. “I am honored to lead this year’s Senate resolution alongside Vice Chairman Murkowski recognizing this important month and remain committed to upholding our trust and treaty responsibilities to Native communities across our nation.”
to everyone who participated in and contributed to our 2021 Annual Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) Fundraiser.
This year funds were raised for our Emergency Client Needs Funds which allow us to assist victims with unique needs when grants or partner agencies are unable.
Thank you Kodiak Daily Mirror for such a great story that helped increase interest and thank you to Matson for pledging a dollar for dollar fundraiser match to help increase community contributions and additional funds far above and beyond our initial goal of $7,500.
Finally, a multitude of thanks goes to each and every donor that helped make this one of the most successful KWRCC fundraisers in recent years.
Contributions came through checks, Facebook, and PayPal and through a surrogate fundraiser hosted by Million Recipes.
The current fundraiser total has to date brought in
$14,670
Volunteer & Partner Appreciation
KWRCC would like to express thanks to the USCG North Pacific Regional Fisheries Training Center Volunteers who visited us in October to complete all sorts of tasks on our To-Do List. Among some of the tasks
completed by the North Pacific RFTC volunteers were to assemble new furniture for our new support group & training space, put our new raised bed garden to bed for the winter, clean up our storage shed and the outside of the shelter, and other manual labor we needed assistance with.
We would also like to give thanks to all of our local partners and Kodiak Furniture for making our new support group & training space possible.
