Transform your social distancing spring cleaning into an opportunity to give.
In light of the current health situation, the Women’s Centre is closing from March 16 to 20 to minimize the spread of the virus and keep everyone safe. Unfortunately, it means that there will be no possibility for donations during that time. You can learn more about these measures here.
As a consequence, we need to postpone our drive for success until cases of coronavirus decrease in the province. Yet, it does not mean that we should not think about donating! It is a great time to purge through closets, look around your habitation, and start a donation box. We have two blog articles for a list of basic items that the Women’s Centre always needs, and suggestions of items that will help women in search of a job.
Beyond donations, we want to emphasize on the growing needs of vulnerable women in these difficult times. The current health crisis is challenging for all of us, but even more for individuals who do not have a job security that could allow them to self-isolate peacefully, or to look after their children. It is crucial that we all take into consideration these factors and try to help as much as possible!
For this reason, we decided to turn our “drive for success” into a “donation box week”, starting today, until march 21st. The challenge consists in making the prettiest donation box, and of course, filling it up as much as possible! The donation boxes should spark joy, so have fun with color, glitters, and drawings! More importantly, make sure they overflow with needed items.
Identify us on Twitter with your works of art, and we will retweet them!
As soon as donations can resume, we will all donate our beautiful (and full) boxes!
