Supporting

Each year we select two or more women's support organizations in the city and then ask each member, on the membership form, to give us their preference for our group support.

For 2024-25 we will be supporting the Young Women's Shelter for a second year.  In the past year we were able to give them $1000 and will be holding a Trilliums and Tea (with hike) event May 15 to further support them.

The Young Women's Shelter of the Youth Services Bureau offers young women aged 16 to 20 immediate access to safe housing. Open 365 days a year, the Evelyn Horne Young Women’s Shelter is always ready to welcome youth with nowhere else to turn. The shelter has 32 beds and offers both emergency shelter and transitional housing for up to a year. They have 16 shelter beds and 16 transitional beds for young women preparing to live independently.
