Giving Shelter
Why we care?
Shoppers Foundation for Women’s HealthTM believes that all women should have access to the care and support they need to be healthy and safe. But with more than 2 in 5 women experiencing some form of intimate partner violence in their lifetime, many women in Canada are suffering. Violence against women has a direct and negative impact on the health of women and their families.
Why Donate?
Every dollar counts in helping women seeking refuge from unsafe environments. Shoppers Foundation for Women’s HealthTM covers all administrative expenses of the program so that 100% of all donations made in-store and online go directly to our charity partners.
$20 helps provide a women access to essential personal care items
$50 helps provide a women access to counselling and support services
$100 helps move a woman and their children to safety
