the LC Foundation &
FCCI Ministries
proudly announces
the establishment of the
Women's Home & Shelter of Whittier
Pastor Joey Alvarado and his wife Pastor Pauline Alvarado (Praise Chapel), Director of the New Women's Home & Shelter of Whittier, offers her best wishes, prayers, and appreciation to the LC Foundation Founder & Co-Founder, Dr. Ralph & Deborah Pacheco for supporting the newly established Women's Home & Shelter of Whittier.
"This is a dream and vision the Lord gave me, to open a Women's Home & Shelter that would meet the needs of women who are seeking to turn around their lives. God loves these women, and He desires to heal & restore their lives, He has a Divine Plan and a future for these women who come to us at the Women's Home & Shelter. I see it as a place of refuge, safety, and security, for women who have been 'battered & abused' ... They deserve a second chance at starting a new life. We hope to provide them that opportunity in this ministry," Says Pastor Pauline Alvarado.
"This is an opportunity for the Whittier community to come together to meet a serious need in our area, providing for battered, bruised, and abused women who have nowhere to turn..." Says, Dr. Ralph Pacheco, President /CEO of the LC Foundation and Senior Pastor of FCCI Ministries (Whittier, CA), "We have begun a fundraising campaign to establish the home, to provide support, and to sustain the work of this new Women's Home & Shelter. Some might say, 'I thought we already had adequate shelters available in our area for these women?' The answer to that question is 'No' there are long waiting lists at the present time for currently opened facilities, and there is no end in sight to filling the current need for battered women, even with this new Shelter."
"My prayer is that the good people of Whittier will open their hearts and pocket books to addressing this dire situation & crisis in our community. Our Foundation pledges to provide the expense of the initial "move-in" costs of the new Women's Home & Shelter, and will be encouraging other organizations and prominent citizens to step forward and offer seed monies and ongoing monthly pledges of support to sustain the Home." Says Dr. Pacheco, "At this time of year, when the Spirit of Giving is so prominent among people, I encourage those who share my view that these women who need a warm bed, a hot meal, and a roof over their heads will respond to the call for assistance and pitch in to help establish this new ministry to provide for these needy women."
