Fundraiser by Galentine's Day 613
Galentine’s Day 613 is a day of giving that takes place every February 14th.
Galentine's Day 613 is dedicated to sharing love and sweetness with women in our community. We are a grassroots, women-led donation drive based in Ottawa. Through your generous donations, we will help support a local centre that provides essential items and services to women. This year Galentine's Day 613 will drive donations to an Ottawa-based centre: Elizabeth Fry Society of Ottawa. Elizabeth Fry Society of Ottawa supports and advocates for young and adult women in our community who are criminalized or may become criminalized.
What started in Winnipeg in 2015 as a simple delivery of treats and essentials to women’s centres has evolved into a yearly feel-good event with a free lunch, self-care services, and gift bags for all.
In 2019, Galentine’s Day 613 was created as a sister initiative to Galentine's Day Winnipeg. Like its counterpart, our efforts provided care packages filled with essentials and special treats to over 50 women accessing services and support through local organizations.
Our initiative began in 2019 with two core members, and in 2020, we expanded our capacity and scope through a team of dedicated volunteers, raising over $2000 in funds and thousands of dollars' worth of donated items.
While the mechanism for giving looked different in 2021 and 2022 (with a brief pause in 2023) we want to continue this initiative into 2024 and support these important services for women. We invite you to join us in making Galentine's Day 613 2024 a success by donating to the Elizabeth Fry Society of Ottawa to help provide essential items to the women they serve.
Our mission is to ensure that on Valentine’s Day - a day that can be challenging for many people - every woman-identified person has the opportunity to feel special, cared for and loved.
