The AT&T U.S. Virgin Islands retail team and local chapter of Women of AT&T continue to give back to the islands. The AT&T employees raised $245 for the Women’s Coalition of St. Croix (WCSC) and donated 20 backpacks filled with wet wipes, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, toothpaste and more.

Women’s Coalition provides help to people impacted by violence. Its services include: crisis counseling, emergency shelter and transitional housing for survivors of domestic and sexual violence, stalking and dating violence counseling.

“As employees of a company with a long history of community involvement and volunteerism, giving back is engrained in our work culture,” said Catherine Kling, AT&T area retail sales manager for the U.S. Virgin Islands. “We want to help make a difference in the lives of those in need, and that’s what the Women’s Coalition of St. Croix is doing.”
