A BRIEF HISTORY OF NEW BEGINNINGS... In 1978 a grass roots effort to provide advocacy for rape victims in the Daviess County area began. Citizens Against Rape was staffed by volunteers and manned a crisis line. It was funded by small fund raising campaigns until in 1982 when Rape Victim Services received money from the Owensboro City Commission and became an autonomous program under the Spouse Abuse Shelter. By 1985, Rape Victim Services was funded by the United Way, the Daviess County Fiscal Court, and the City of Owensboro. In 1988, when the state and federal governments began providing funds for this agency, Rape Victim Services was declared an independent agency. From there, Rape Victim Services began to blossom, as it began hiring paid staff, branched out to have an office in Henderson and Ohio Counties as well as a home base in Owensboro. In 2000, Rape Victim Services changed its business name to New Beginnings Sexual Assault Support Services. Today, New Beginnings serves a seven-county region, has a staff of eight. and is growing with each year. Our next phase will be the Hope in Healing Capital Campaign, which will enable our agency to surpass anything it has done in the past. |
