Albion Fellows Bacon Center

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

“The mission of Albion Fellows Bacon Center is to eliminate domestic and sexual violence in our communities through advocacy, education, support services and collaborative partnerships.”

When we speak about domestic violence and sexual assault, the truth of the matter is… it does not care if you are black or white, rich or poor, young or old.

When domestic violence and sexual assault rears its ugly head it does not discriminate.

Every person that has experienced domestic violence or sexual assault is a mother/father, sister/ brother, neighbor, or co-worker. These people are in every area of our everyday lives.

We serve 11 counties including Vanderburgh, Warrick, Posey, Gibson, Dubois, Spencer, Perry, Crawford, Orange, Pike, and Harrison.

All of our services are confidential and free of charge.

Albion Fellows Bacon Center is here to help!

Albion’s past events

Wednesday, April 11th, 2007

April was Sexual Assault Awareness Month! We have pictures from three of our events including “Take Back the Night”, “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes”, and “A Timeless Celebration”.

KUDOS of the Month goes to:

  • Jeff Stucke from Human Element for providing our staff retreat.
  • Kathy Skinner a long time trusted volunteer for doing such a great job of filling in for staff during the staff retreat.
  • Dr Kelli Hanson & Staff from Oak Hill Animal Hospital for their donation of blankets for shelter residents and children.
  • Pam Lene for hosting the 1st annual “Girlfriends Gala”. They collected much needed items for Albion & collected close to $300.00!
  • United Leasing who came in on a Saturday and went through a “honey do” list that was extensive. They cleaned out gutters and flower beds, repaired a shed, covered 22 mattresses with new protectors, power-washed a patio from ceiling to floor, cleaned, repaired and painted ceiling vents, painted in the shelter hallway, assembled an office chair, installed a computer drawer and if that wasn’t enough…they brought in 3 large bags of new towels and washcloths for our women and children.
  • Dr. Mary LynStoll from the Dept. of Philosophy at the University of Soutern Indiana for donating $900. The USI Philosophy Club held a fundraiser, Vagina Monologues, to benefit Albion Fellows Bacon Center. See picture below.

    • Vagina Monologues

  • Alicia Amon and Daisies Troop #82 for collecting donations and sold over 2000 boxes of cookies. Some people that were approached gave a donation & chose to give a box of cookies to Albion.
  • St. Mary’s catering, set up, audio-visual, security & HR departments for all they do to make our Gala go so smoothly.
  • USI management class (Jessica Mitchell, Jarad Whitehead, Alejandra Lopez, Aaron Cornelius, Jon Couts and Jenni Hein) for holding the “Acoustic Lunch Time” benefiting Albion. They were able to raise $429.35.
  • Amy Mangold with the Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library for holding a campaign where employees were able to donate $279.95 to wear jeans on Fridays.
