Getting Started
Center Overview
Fresh Start Women’s Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping women help themselves. We do that through the work of the Jewell McFarland Lewis-Fresh Start Women’s Resource Center.
Whether you are adjusting to a career change, concerned about financial security, coping with difficult family relationships, or simply seeking opportunities for personal growth, Fresh Start is here to support you on your journey.
We invite you to explore new beginnings and embrace life’s transitions through our unique programs and services:
• Empowerment Services
• Career Services
• Self-Esteem Services
• Mentoring Program
• Education Services

• Family Law Support Services
The women who come to us are women just like you who may be facing challenges that seem insurmountable. We invite you to explore the services featured on our website.
