Our mission is to serve, empower and equip women to help other women.

Since our first Circle of Friends gathering on September 12, 1999, over 303 women have become an integral part of our group which has blessed six not-for-profit organizations and over 600 women with food,clothing, shelter, MARTA and gas cards and other essentials to help them in time of crisis.

On September 12, 2005, we gave the gift of fistula reconstructive surgery to six Ethiopian young girls and women. Fistulas are holes that develop in the tissue that separates the vagina from the bladder and/or rectum. In many developing countries, poverty prevents women from getting proper treatment.

On November 4, 2005, Circle of Friends dedicated Living Water for Women. Living Water for Women provides professional counseling and services to women in transition at a private respite on 2+ wood acres with a beautiful meandering brook in a community of metro Atlanta! Our goal and prayer is that women will obtain, maintain and succeed with independent living, free from the bonds of addictive drug/alcohol use, abusive relationships and illegal behaviors.

Living Water is funded by Circle of Friends and the generosity of individuals who seek to help women in need.

Zoë Collection

The word Zoë is from the Greek and means eternal life. The Zoë Collection was created by Lisa C. Williams to remind others to celebrate life! Sometimes the circumstances of life cast shadows of desperation and despair. Creations in the Zoë Collection remind us through Faith, Hope, and Grace…we can overcome, we can excel, we can celebrate life in the sunshine! The Zoë Collection of clothing, dolls, journals and other gift items will be available for purchase in mid 2007.

Proceeds from the Zoë Collection support agencies that protect, shelter, and provide services to women and their children who are homeless, or have experienced domestic violence and or sexual assault.
