Thank you so much for considering our clients through the holidays! The holidays can be some of the hardest times for our clients. Your generosity is what brings smiles to faces and hope into hearts. To ensure our YWCA elves have enough time to deliver all the Christmas joy to each woman, child, gender-diverse individual, and family staying in one of our programs, we have scheduled two convenient drop-off dates on December 15th and 16th at our Culp Street Emergency Shelter (6135 Culp Street, Niagara Falls)!

Please get in touch with Catherine (cleniarsky@ywcaniagararegion.ca or by phone 905-329-3519), so we know when to expect you!

Happy holidays from the YWCA team!
