Understanding Homelessness

Did you know that an estimated 35,000 Canadians were homeless on any given night in 2014? Did you know that approximately 235,000 Canadians experienced homelessness that year? Women experiencing homelessness encounter numerous and barriers on a daily basis. One struggle that is often not talked about is the difficulty that they face when trying to access feminine hygiene products. Please help make a difference by donating cash or feminine hygiene products during the event. All proceeds will go to Inn from the Cold, a family shelter in the downtown core.
