Mission Statement

​The purpose of WICS is to provide a supportive environment to widowed people.

WICS is a non-profit 501 (C) (3), non-sectarian, charitable, educational and community oriented corporation, serving King County since 1974, helping widowed men and women who are dealing with the death of a spouse or partner.

WICS provides a supportive environment and service for the adjustment to the loss of a spouse or partner by death. We also offer support as one transitions into life as a single person.

Because everyone’s grief is unique and each person copes in his or her own way, WICS offers a variety of services to widowed people, including:

  • Information and referrals

  • On-going Support Groups

  • Telephone Support with widowed volunteers

  • Newsletter

  • Social Activities

  • Yearly weekend retreat

WICS operates on volunteered time and donations from the community.

Donations can be made directly to the WICS office, or at any support group meeting.
