February is Be More Than A Bystander month in Hamilton. Be More Than a Bystander is our community-wide MentorAction program to end gender-based violence, and partners with Hamilton’s premiere sports organizations: Hamilton Bulldogs, McMaster University Athletics, Hamilton Tiger Cats, and Forge FC, all working together to break the silence on violence against women and girls.

Through the generous support of community friends & partners we are over two thirds of the way to offset the costs of our  flat roof replacement of $28,000, and now need to raise $10,000 to complete the offset of the costs. We are asking for your assistance to help us reach our goal so we can continue to safely shelter the women and children in our community who are experiencing abuse, violence, or human trafficking.

Please give generously to the Keep a Roof Over Their Heads Go Fund Me Campaign at  https://charity.gofundme.com/keep-a-roof-over-their-heads.

Many thanks to Pattison Outdoor Advertising for the donation of an outdoor sign from Dec. 21 -Jan 17 for our emergency roof repair campaign at the shelter. Thank you Pattison Outdoor Advertising for helping us support women, with or without children, experiencing abuse/violence.
