Our Mission

To provide resources to women that empower them to become strong, confident contributors to their communities.

Our History

Annie’s Legacy was founded in 2006 by Beverly Billy, who was inspired by her mother’s ability to successfully escape domestic abuse. Beverly recognized the need for a resource center that provides women with knowledge, a sense of empowerment and the skills to become self-reliant.Board Member Bios
