My Sisters’ Place (MSP) is a safe, welcoming and inclusive centre that supports women through drop-in and wrap-around services. Many experience multiple vulnerabilities including gender based violence, trauma, chronic mental and physical health challenges, homelessness or housing instability, substance use, and extreme poverty. Developed with input from women of lived experience, My Sisters’ Place offers a comprehensive multi-disciplinary support system with the capacity to deliver practical needs, specialized services and education/skills development under one roof. This Christmas, we have an opportunity to bless these women through practical needs. Here is a list of the items they are requesting:
- Deodorant
- Feminine hygiene products (pads, tampons, liners)
- New underwear
- New socks
- Shampoo & conditioner
Please bring your donations to the church, label the bag "My Sisters' Place", and put them in the bin in the front foyer.
