VISITING NEW BUILD

Members of the Rotary Club of St. Catharines visited the site of the new YWCA build to present the organization with the club’s commitment of $75,000 to the project.

The YWCA Niagara Region provides shelter, food, and assistance to women and families in poverty. The club's contribution supported the building of a new family shelter combined with permanent housing apartments. This new building, located on Oakdale Avenue in St. Catharines, will deliver a proactive, cost-effective solution while allowing staff to provide a higher level of support, resources, and care. The new facility will encourage social interaction and a support network for families.

The community room at this site will be named the Rotary Community Room. This was only made possible with the help of St. Catharines Rotarians, volunteers, our community partners, and the people of St. Catharines.
