Shelter from the Storm Campaign supports shelters across the country

This spring, Canadians across the country came together in support of the Canadian Women’s Foundation’s Shelter from the Storm  campaign.  Funds were raised from radio-thons, BootCamp events in partnership with Goodlife Fitness, the sale of merchandise and decals at Winners and HomeSense, and individual donations made on-line at http://shelterfromthestorm.ca.  In total $1.7 million was raised, and more than 400 shelters received a portion of this money, including Nellie’s. 

 

We are proud to report that the$5469 we received will go directly towards our programs and services for women and children.  We would like to thank The Canadian Women’s Foundation, Winners and Homesense as well all the individuals who generously donated to help support shelters for abused women across the country.  This contribution will make a great difference to all the women and children at Nellie’s who are beginning new lives, free from violence and abuse.
