December Outreach: North Shore Women's Centre

Each month, 100% of our Sunday morning collection plate, unless otherwise noted, is donated to a registered charity whose mission is in line with our values. We call this “Outreach”.

During the month of December, we will collect donations for the North Shore Women’s Centre (NSWC) a local charity dedicated to improving the social, economic, legal and political status of women. They encourage and support self-empowerment by acting as a resource and a catalyst for change, from feminist perspectives.

The NSWC provides women with access to resources and assists them with life choices, actively addressing violence against women at all levels of the community, challenging sexism and discrimination in the community, and working towards the elimination of the feminization of poverty.

The NSWC welcomes women and gender diverse individuals, including those who identify as trans, Two-Spirit, and/or non-binary. They provide a variety of programs and services, including:

• Drop-in Resource Centre

• Single Mom’s Support Group

• Basic Computer Training

• Family Law Clinic

• Girls Empowerment Summer Camp

• Health & Wellness Programs​

• Workshops

​Learn more about the work of the North Shore Women’s Centre at their website.
