Every day women call the Scarborough Women's Centre for help to get out of an abusive situation. We provide services for women facing challenges such as living in or recovering from an abusive situation. We do this so she can implement long-term positive changes with confidence. Many of the women using the Centre are dealing with abuse, poverty, and isolation. With your help, these women will receive counselling, get back into the workforce, and participate in programs designed to increase their self-esteem.

Your support will help provide an anonymous and confidential telephone counselling service; educational workshops; a mentoring program; an economic self-sufficiency program and action designed to bring positive change to our community.

Monthly Donations
Monthly giving involves recruiting donors to make modest monthly donations each month, as opposed to single annual gifts. It's convenient for the donor because the funds are withdrawn automatically from their credit card or chequing account and equally convenient for the organization because we can plan ahead knowing when your donation will be received. Donors who make monthly contributions to Scarborough Women's Centre provide stable funding for year-round planning and allow the Centre to keep offering the services that they do. To join, you simply pre-authorize a monthly deduction from your credit card online through CanadaHelps.org. At the end of each calendar year, contributors will receive one consolidated tax for the total year's contribution.

• $50 monthly donation - $600 per year - Helps 12 women build self-confidence in an eight-week group.
