Donations for Women's Centre of Calgary

The Women's Centre plays a critical role supporting women in our city. We believe addressing basic needs, building social connections and working for change will build a strong community.

Much of the work done at the Centre is addressing basic needs for a wide variety of women from all areas of the city. In addition to emergency food a woman may receive two personal items, 12 diapers, and 12 sanitary pads/tampons per month. This is obviously stop-gap, emergency supplies but it is difficult to keep up with. There never seems to be enough shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, toothpaste, deodorant, etc. Diapers for newborns seem to be always available but size 4 and up are harder to find.

During the month of December a woman may apply for a visit to the toy room to select a gift for each of her children. In addition there is a gift bag for each woman.

We are soliciting donations to help the Women's Centre with either basic needs or the Christmas program. If buying for the Toy Room please think of children 7-12 and up (everything is welcome but this is the greatest need). Anything that would go towards a gift basket for the woman is also needed. Some suggestions: for women - pajamas, adult colouring books, leggings; for children - pajamas, stuffies, puzzles.
