Did you know that in 2021 (most recent statistics available) 65,000 women reached out to a shelter in Alberta? That means 178 women a day requested help. That staggering number means that violence against women touches your neighbor, your sister, your auntie, your co-worker, your stylist, your barista, your teacher, and you. In an effort to bring awareness and education through fundraising, we are having a Shop & Donate event on February 1, 2024. 18,000 women were turned away at a shelter in 2021. We want to be a part of the solution and ensure that we have the facilities, manpower, and resources to help. Through supporting the ACWS (Alberta Council of Women’s Shelters) we will help over 50 shelters across the province for women, their children, and seniors facing domestic abuse. ACWS is working to end domestic violence through culture-shifting violence prevention programs, collective data and research, and front-line training. Domestic violence remains a serious and urgent problem in Alberta. Be a part of the solution with our Share the Love Event. Right before Valentine’s Day, this event will be at a private venue in Sherwood Park (just East of Edmonton) and will be an evening of learning, shopping and fundraising. Our mission is to create awareness and a perpetual giving fund to support the ACWS. We believe that as we support and shop with businesses that in turn give back, we can create a perpetual giving fund that creates abundance for all. Location
