WINS - Women In Need Society Fundraiser

Women In Need Society (WINS) is a local charitable organization that was founded in 1992 that helps women in need and their families. WINS currently operates five thrift stores, a donation centre, a Free Good Referral Program and four Family Resource Centres. The organization is desperately calling on the support of Calgarians to help keep their Family Resource Centres open. WINS resource centres provide women with the resources, knowledge, skills and confidence to achieve self-sufficiency. 

On April 28th, with the support from The Met on 8th, WINS and several gracious donors we will be hosting a fundraiser. The hope is to assist WINS in reaching their overall goal of $500,000. 

100% of the proceeds from ticket sales, donations upon entry, silent auction, raffle sales, 50/50 and a portion of bar sales will be donated directly to WINS.

WINS is encountering significant financial challenges as a result of a depressed economic environment and an increased need for services. WINS’ four Family Resource Centres will undergo a temporary closure on March 23, which could become permanent as early as the end of April unless WINS can raise the additional funds to supplement its store revenues. 

Between 6,000 and 7,000 individual women are helped on the path of self-sustainability every year through WINS’ community programs. The number of services offered to clients has doubled between 2014 and 2017.
