Bringing Hope to Central Illinois Women

On February 11, 2024, The Baton Pass Central IL chapter launched with an unforgettable afternoon with more women attending than at any other chapter launch in our history.

Since then we’ve hosted three large gatherings with nearly 100 women at each event, right here in The Gathering Space. We’ve created space for smaller, intimate “Circle Up” events that meet women right where they are.

Around these tables, stories of hope have been shared, healing has taken place, and life-giving connections have begun.

Behind the scenes, we’ve trained and equipped over 20 volunteers and team members who are ready to walk alongside women in seasons of loss, trauma, or transition. And all of this has been made possible by a small but mighty team, led by Whitney Mallory and supported by Lindsay Boughton.

And we’re just getting started.

By giving today, you will fuel this movement—allowing The Baton Pass to continue hosting events, equipping compassionate volunteers, and bringing hope to women in Central Illinois who are in places of quiet desperation.

Together, we can ensure no woman walks alone.
