Two weeks ago, LHCI hosted our first on-campus presentation with guest speakers from Women’s Crisis Services of Waterloo Region, who shared powerful insights on domestic violence and the organization’s impact in our community. 💜

Did you know that every 6 days a woman is killed by her intimate partner? Raising awareness about domestic violence is crucial for change and supporting the mission of essential community organizations such as WCSWR.

Join us on Nov 30th, from 1-3 PM at Uptown Waterloo Square for the Voices Empower Walk to stand in solidarity and support WCSWR’s vital work providing shelter, transitional housing, and outreach services for survivors.

🔗Sign up to walk or donate via the link in our bio. Help us raise the much needed funds and awareness for this important cause. Together, we can make a difference. 💪

Laurier Homeless Care Initiative invites you to join us and participate in a fundraising walk hosted by Women’s Crisis Services of Waterloo Region (WCSWR). This is a walk in hopes of raising funds and awareness for domestic violence and in recognition of Women Abuse Prevention Month.

The walk will take place in Uptown Square Waterloo from 1-3pm on November 30th, 2024. There will be complementary Poppy’s bagels and hot chocolate after the walk. If you are looking to volunteer with the club at the event, please indicate that on the google form found in our instagram bio. Volunteers are to be at the event from 12:30-3:30pm to assist with various tasks.

Students looking to participate must sign up using the google form located in our bio. After doing so, you must register on our Voices Empower team page and provide a $6 donation fee that will go to support the WCSWR’s mission. Feel free to DM us with any question or concerns! 💜💛
