to NYWS
When you make a secure online donation to NYWS today, you’re funding a holistic and intersectional feminist approach to anti-violence and pushing back against gender-based violence in your community. When you do, you are empowering the self-discovery of real people who are surviving violence this very moment.
Your donation will help our residents, 60 percent of whom are children, by funding programs like sharing circles, creative expression and mindful movement like yoga, which are proven to help people heal from the violence they’ve experienced.
If you have any questions please contact donations@nyws.ca
In-Kind Donations
We are approached by so many amazing donors who want to provide specific items to support residents. We accept donations of brand new hygiene items, clothing for women and children, educational items, small homeware/kitchenwares and gift cards.
If you'd like to offer a donation, please contact donations@nyws.ca
Please Note: We cannot accept any used item donations, including gently worn clothing. NYWS does not have the capacity to pick up items, so all donations must be dropped off at our admin office. We kindly ask that you give us prior notice before dropping off donations.

Please consider leaving a gift to North York Women's Shelter in your will, or through naming us as a beneficiary of your life insurance or RRSP balance sharing.
