We operate two shelters; Anselma House in Kitchener and Haven House in Cambridge, plus regional Outreach services and a regional 24/7 Crisis Line, for abused women and their children. With your generous donation, you will help provide a safe place free from abuse for women and their children and ensure that they have the necessary tools to allow them to move forward in a life free of violence. Women’s Crisis Services relies on community support in order to offset our funding shortage between the number of beds for which we are funded and the number of women and children we actually serve. This community support enables us not to turn women and children away who need to find refuge. We thank our supporters for enabling us to help the families we serve to move beyond violence. Making a donation will help abused women and their children find safety and support as they begin moving beyond violence.
