Sexual Assault Agency fills gap left by the closing of Rape Crisis agency, Major Donor provides help and challenges others to do the same.

The Sexual Assault Crisis & Support Center which currently provides support services to victims of Sexual Abuse and their families in S. Kennebec, Knox, & Waldo Counties will expand their service area to include Northern Kennebec & Somerset Counties in order to ensure that survivors of sexual violence are not without these important services due to the recent unfortunate closing of Rape Crisis Assistance & Prevention.   The services include free:

·          24 hour confidential hotline 1-800-871-7741

·          Support through the medical & legal  systems

·         Community & Outreach Education

·         School based prevention programs

·         One-one support

·         Support Groups

·         Sexual Assault Response Team

We know that everyone in this community knows someone that has been affected by Sexual Violence, based on Maine Statistics 1 in 4 Mainers will be a victim of some form of Sexual Violence.

The agency needs the help and support of committed community members who have made it clear that services  are truly needed, one of these committed community members is Peter MCavoy  of Oakland who has generously donated $10,000 to assist in setting up a Sexual Assault Center in the Waterville area and has offered to match any donations to the agency up to another $10,000.  Anyone interested in helping this agency to provide these services that help to minimize the trauma of sexual violence to woman, children & men can send a tax deductible donation to Sexual Assault Crisis & Support Center PO BX 417 Winthrop, Me 04364.
