In partnership with our community, Women’s Crisis Services of Waterloo Region (WCSWR) empowers and supports women and children to move beyond violence and abuse through the provision of safe shelter, transitional housing education and outreach services.

WCSWR operates two emergency shelters for women and children experiencing domestic violence: Anselma House in Kitchener and Haven House in Cambridge. In addition to providing safe shelter, WCSWR offers a free, confidential, outreach program for women who are experiencing domestic violence but do not require emergency shelter. The program is flexible, accessible and has no wait list. Shelter and outreach services can both be accessed by calling WCSWR’s 24/7 support lines via phone or online chat.

With your generous donation, you will provide a safe place free from violence for women and their children and ensure that they have the necessary tools to allow them to move forward in a life free of violence.

Women’s Crisis Services relies on community support in order to offset our funding shortage between the number of beds for which we are funded and the number of women and children we actually serve.

Making a donation will help women and their children find safety and support as they begin moving beyond violence.
