Women's Centre of York Region (WCYR)

The Women's Centre of York Region is dedicated to providing support, resources, and education to women who have experienced violence, poverty and related social and economic barriers. With the pandemic exacerbating gender-based violence and inflation at an all-time high, the need for our services has never been more urgent. 

That's why we need your support to #HelpKeepHerSafe. Step up to #HelpKeepHerSafe 2023 to raise awareness and funds for our programs and services while providing vital tangible support to women in need. Our goal is to reach more women in need, expand our partnerships with community organizations, and create a safer and more equitable community for all. 

But we can't do it without your help. The funds you raise will help us provide critical services like counselling, skills-based programming, grocery assistance, transportation, clothing support, and community outreach. It will help us train more volunteers and staff, develop new programs and resources, and raise awareness about the devastating impact of gender-based violence.
