Your dollar goes twice as far — thanks to Hadwins HVAC!

We are thrilled to announce that Hadwins HVAC is partnering with us to bring the new Kamloops Women’s Centre to life. Not only are they leasing us their building, but for every dollar you donate, Hadwins HVAC will match your contribution, up to $50,000, in both labour and product toward the renovations of our new home.

This revitalized space will be more than just a building, it will be a lifeline. A place where women, girls, and femme-identifying individuals can access safety, care, and connection. It will serve as a community hub and service centre, providing vital programs, advocacy, and opportunities for healing and empowerment.

But the vision does not stop there. This space will also house a social enterprise, a place where women can rebuild confidence, gain skills, and step back into the workforce with dignity and support. Every wall, every room, every light fixture will help create long-term sustainability for services that directly impact women in Kamloops.

Your donation is not just building walls, it is building hope, opportunity, and belonging.

💖 Double your impact today. Help us create a space where women rise together.

👉 Donate now and be part of the transformation.

This holiday season, indulge in something sweet that gives back. When you buy Purdys Chocolates through our fundraiser, you are helping support the revitalization of the Kamloops Women’s Centre, a safe, empowering space for women in our community.

Last year, with just a $15,000 budget, our volunteer-led team transformed a small boardroom into a welcoming haven for 532 women seeking safety, connection, and employment support. These numbers reflect not only the resilience of women in Kamloops, but also the urgent need for sustainable, well-resourced supports.

✨ “This center is crucial for women of Kamloops. I feel such a sense of community when I’m there, and it has helped me even when I’m not in the comfort of the center.” – Women’s Centre Participant

Now, as a registered charity, we are building toward a stronger, more sustainable future for women, and you can be part of it!

💖 Buy chocolate. Support women. Build community.

This holiday season, help us share warmth, hope, and joy with a mom and her children. Many of the women we serve face significant financial challenges, especially during the holidays. By sponsoring a family, you can lift a weight off her shoulders and remind her that even in difficult times, light still shines through.

Your generosity will not only fill their home with good food and laughter but also with love and the reassurance that they are not alone. Together, we can help her keep moving forward, one hopeful step at a time.

We are seeking donations for 10 Christmas Hampers, which include:
Turkey
Holiday sides
Pumpkin pie
Christmas gifts or stockings for mom and children

Donations can be dropped off at our Women’s Centre Monday - Friday, 10 am - 3 pm.

Share the Spirit of the Season

Help us make the holidays a little brighter for families in need by donating gently used Christmas trees and holiday décor. Many of the women and families we serve are rebuilding their lives and may not have the means to decorate their homes this season.

Your donation of lights, ornaments, wreaths, or artificial trees can transform a space—bringing joy, warmth, and the magic of the holidays to those who need it most. Together, we can help every family feel the spirit of the season and the comfort of community care.

Thursday, December 12th | 12 PM – 7 PM

Last year, we transformed our Women’s Centre into a beautiful pop-up boutique, a place where over 80 women and girls from our community came to rest, relax, and be reminded of their worth. Each woman received a free outfit, dress, shoes, purse, jewelry, and hair accessories, along with the chance to be pampered, styled, and celebrated. It was a day filled with connection, mocktails, laughter, and love. Wrapping it all up in a bow, with tickets to the City of Kamloops Christmas Symphony.

This year, HER Boutique 2025 will continue that tradition of care, dignity, and empowerment. For many women, the holidays are a time spent giving to others, but this event is about giving to her: the space to feel seen, valued, and cared for.
