Help of Door County, the only agency in Door County providing support to domestic violence victims, has a permanent executive director leading the organization. HELP's Board of Directors announced this week that they have selected Moriah Turk Benzow as the new Executive Director.  Benzow had been serving as the interim executive director since January, filling in for Milly Gonzales, who left to become Associate Director of End Domestic Abuse Wisconsin.   
 

Benzow has a strong background in victim services and the Door County community. She has been with HELP since 2019, starting out as a volunteer. This experience ultimately motivated her to work towards her degree in organizational leadership while being the agency's program manager. She shares her vision for the organization and the holistic approach that makes a difference in the area.

Rebeccah Cavanaugh, Chair of HELP's Board of Directors, says "We are incredibly excited to have Moriah step up to the role of Executive Director. Moriah brings immense enthusiasm, creativity, community connection, and commitment to this vital work."

HELP provides free and confidential services while offering safe places for victims, legal advocacy, women's education and support groups, community outreach with youth and family services, intervention, and a transitional living program.
