Celebrating International Women's Day !

Vision: Every woman, girl, and gender-diverse person has the power, safety, support, and rights to thrive, today and tomorrow. We are Canada’s public foundation for gender justice and equality. We advance this by growing support for grassroots feminist action, partnering with communities and organizations to improve conditions, and building diverse leadership and knowledge for sustainable change.

Since 1991, our generous donors and supporters have contributed more than $260 million to fund over 3,300 life-transforming programs throughout Canada.

Your support enables the Canadian Women’s Foundation to focus on critical challenges facing diverse women, girls, and Two Spirit, trans, and non-binary people all over Canada today. And you make effective long-term change for gender equality and justice possible.

Since 1992, BBNC has offered special programs to support families in need in our Southwest Scarborough community. Currently, through our Share365 program, we assist 200 families / 600 people each month. They receive nutritious fresh fruits and vegetables every month and essential hygiene products throughout the year. Subsidies are also available on many BBNC fitness and wellness and children’s programs.

If you would like to support Share365, please go to

canadahelps.org/en/charities/birchmount-bluffs-neighbourhood-centre

and enter your donation amount . Remember to change General to SHARE365 in the fund dropdown box. Donations can also be made at the BBNC Reception; please specify that funds are for Share365.

Your donation couldn't come at a better time: due to a reduction in core funding for the coming year, Share365 is facing difficult decisions about how best to support our families and we are counting on the additional donations we can raise.

Share365 is a special BBNC program that helps our neighbours in need. Please know that your support will make a difference.

For further information, see bbnc.ca/share365, speak with Katharine at Reception, email share365@bbnc.ca, or call 416-396-4310.

Thank you.
