Bulbrite Industries has teamed-up with WAC Lighting to donate all of the compact fluorescent lamps to illuminate the Norfolk Series of ceiling fixtures, supplied by W2 Architectural Lighting, a WAC Lighting division dedicated to producing specification grade lighting.
The NYAWC shelters serve the families in the Queens Community and provide a human trafficking recovery program called Project Free. Project Free recognizes the many similarities between domestic violence and human trafficking. Of the 17,500 slaves that exist in the US, many come through New York, and over 80% are women and children sold into the sex trade.
Every year the NYAWC receives thousands of calls to its hotline in various languages and assists battered women and their children. Of the women they serve, most come to the center with incomes below the poverty line. More than 70% enroll in vocational or English language training through the organization’s Emergency Shelter Program.
