Community Support is Vital.

The Women's House is a non-profit organization funded by the Ministry of Community and Social Services. However, in order to continue to operate all of our services we will need to fundraise $200,000 this year. We need the support of the community in order to do this. Women and children are counting on us as they flee from abusive situations in their own homes and look for safe shelter and counselling services. In many cases, lives are saved by the critical intervention provided by our shelter. Statistics show that of all the women murdered in Canada, 62% were killed by their partners. In communities where there are shelters, this rate is less.

How Can You Help
