The YWCA Niagara Region provides shelter, food and assistance to women, men, gender-diverse people and families living in poverty.

CANADA POST UPDATE:

Due to the ongoing Canada Post strike, mailed donations may take longer to reach us than usual. Rest assured, once we receive your generous gift, it will still go directly towards changing the lives of everyone who walks through our doors.

For quicker alternatives, you can:

  • Donate online using the buttons above.

  • Contact Catherine at 905-329-3519 or by email to arrange your donation.

  • Drop off your cheque in person at our Oakdale Commons Family Shelter.

    176 Oakdale Ave, St. Catharines, ON L2P 2K9

Thank you for your continued support and understanding during this time!

The choices shouldn’t be between putting food on the table and creating magical holiday memories for your family.

THIS HOLIDAY, JOIN OUR FLEET OF YWCA ELEVES AND BE APART OF CREATING THE MAGIC.
