Middle Way House provides meaningful alternatives to living with violence to hundreds of survivors of domestic violence, sexual violence, and human trafficking each year. Further, Middle Way House touches the lives of thousands of community members annually through educational outreach and prevention programs. The mission of the program is to provide survivors with access to permanent, safe, and affordable housing; to achieve economic security, and foster their strengths to further develop their capacities for self-determination. This Engage event is a way for women in Bloomington to show our support for these women and this organization by beautifying a space where their children can just be kids. Middle Way’s youth program's goal is to provide a fun, safe, and inclusive experience for all residential and aftercare youth.
