Sometimes support begins with something very simple: finding a place where you feel you belong.
It can be a new mother meeting other women who understand what she is experiencing.
A newcomer beginning to build friendships and feel at home in her community.
A caregiver finding support during an overwhelming period in her life.
A woman going through a difficult transition discovering a place where she can talk openly and feel understood.
Or an older woman creating new friendships and feeling connected again.
Your support helps make these moments possible.
Provide ongoing support to women in our community throughout the year.
Celebrate someone special with a meaningful gift to the Centre.

General donations help fund the Centre’s courses, workshops, support groups and community activities. Along with the grants we receive, these contributions allow us to keep programming accessible and affordable while responding to women’s needs at different stages of their lives.
Every donation—large or small—helps create opportunities for more women to learn, build relationships, find support and feel a greater sense of belonging.
The Pay It Forward Program is funded entirely by donations from people who want to help women experiencing financial insecurity participate in our programming.
Every Pay It Forward donation is used exclusively to provide financial assistance to women who need help covering program fees. Your contribution can give another woman the opportunity to participate in a course, workshop or activity she might not otherwise be able to afford.
