 A $20,000 donation will help the Mid-Minnesota Women's Center in its efforts to prevent domestic violence. The donation was recently made to the Mid-Minnesota Women's in memory of Brainerd resident Faye Hickerson-Eckernot who passed away last year. According to a press release, the Women's Center and Central Lakes College were two of Hickerson-Eckernot's biggest passions. The interest accrued from the invested funds will be used for many years to come to secure accommodation for people who are at risk who have been subjected to violence.
