The Hoshizaki House in Dryden has received an early Christmas gift from Unifor.
The Crisis Shelter is welcoming a $4,000 donation.
In total, Unifor is spending $316,000 to support 79 shelters across the country.
National President Jerry Dias says “Local shelters provide lifesaving assistance as frontline providers of crisis services to women and children who are living with domestic violence. Our contribution is helpful to their services but it can’t replace the type of systemic action that governments and employers can make to eradicate the need for shelters.”
Unifor Women’s Director Lisa Kelly says “During the pandemic, we are seeing increased pressure on shelters to provide services. Our donations are coupled with continued activism to address the roots of gender inequality.”
