ADOPT-A-ROAD
We meet twice annually (in the fall and spring). We break into pairs and clean up a section of the boulevard along Glenridge Avenue between Lockhart Drive and Riverview Boulevard. There is a sign near the railroad overpass honouring CFUW St. Catharines’ efforts. A pair of work gloves and a commitment of one hour is all that is required. This is truly a project where many hands make light work! We always enjoy coffee together afterwards. Open to all CFUW members. Contact Heather Foss
United Way – CFUW HYGIENE KITS
In 2017, CFUW St Catharines started, in conjunction with the United Way, the CFUW Hygiene Kits initiative which provides kits for women in shelters and those moving out of crisis shelters. Hygiene products are often overlooked as donations to shelters, food banks and other organizations. For women living in poverty, affording every day essentials can be a real challenge, and for women who are experiencing homelessness, it is an even greater challenge. The United Way Hygiene Kits responds to some of the need that has been identified in our community. The hygiene kits include: shampoo, conditioner, soap, wash cloth, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant and other miscellaneous hygiene items. All members are invited to attend, throughout the year, packing parties to assemble the hygiene kits. If you are interested in assisting, please contact Karen or Heidi.
