Help Women and Children Rebuild their Lives after Violence this September!

Thank you to RONA+ Hamilton N.E for raising $11,000 in support for families fleeing violence at YWCA Hamilton’s Phoenix Place in 2023.

This year, funds raised will support survivors of gender-based violence across all YWCA Hamilton housing programs.

Funds raised will provide housing and gender-based violence support services including harm reduction, mental health support, counselling, and peer support to women, gender-diverse people and children affected by violence, homelessness and poverty at four main locations: Carole Anne’s Place emergency shelter & drop-in, transitional living program, Phoenix Place, and the Putman Family YWCA.
