Where do you go when things aren‘t going right in your life?
For thousands of women, Sources Women’s Place is that safe space where they come to connect, heal and rebuild their lives. In the past year, we saw 3,000 visits (3x increase from 2021-22) from women seeking connection, access to resources and mental health services. Unfortunately, many are experiencing or are at risk of poverty as they navigate around increased food prices, housing challenges and gender-based violence. We welcome these amazingly strong women into our centre with open arms. I feel honoured to be given the opportunity to support them but I know there’s so much more to be done.
On April 25, we are hosting our charity fashion show In Her Shoes to raise funds for critical women services. I would like to invite you to support this unique event by donating to our silent auction. Last year, we sold over 70 items contributed by local businesses and community members, helping us reach our fundraising goal. All auction donors will be acknowledged on our website.
Operating since 1978, Sources Women’s Place is a drop-in day program for self-identifying women and their children. It is completely funded by the community and we are grateful to be able to provide free trauma counseling, access to emergency housing and legal information, healthy meals, clothing and hygiene products.
Women’s Place is like an anchor for women as they feel welcomed and taken care of in a judgement-free environment. I cannot emphasize enough what this place means to those in our community. The goal of events like In Her Shoes is to build a sustainable future for Sources Women’s Place and we lean on the support of generous donors like you. Our fundraising goal this year is $100,000.
The fashion show will happen at West Coast Gardens, Surrey. I, along with Co-Chairs Sara Forte and Courtney Robichaud, would like to welcome you to attend to mingle with close to 200 people from the community including business professionals, leaders, friends and like-minded individuals. The highlight of the evening will be Sources staff, volunteers and/or clients walking the runway. We will also have delectable delights, drinks and music for guests to enjoy.
To donate, please complete and return the enclosed form to Yasmin deJoya-Pagal at YdeJoya-Pagal@SourcesBC.ca. You can also reach her at 604.317.1288.
