Fundraising
Throughout the year we provide a few ways that the community is able to support the programs that we deliver. These initiatives often result in an item that is available for purchase.
Below you will find some of the items that we have worked on that you are available to you. Our main campaign goals with these items are to raise awareness of gender based violence against women and girls within our community. The funds raised will go to supporting the programs and services that we provide to the individuals and families that access our services.
The items below are available in limited quantities for purchase. If you would like any of these items please email newstartsadmin@shaw.ca or call (807)727-2820 to arrangement payment and pickup.
We appreciate your support!
