The Difference YOU Make

Every donation we receive plays an important role in the operations of Adsum and in the support and housing we are able to provide to hundreds of women, children and female youth each year.

Here are some examples of how your gifts make a difference at Adsum:

$20 pays for one day's electricity at Adsum House.

$25 will provide two hours of respite child care at Adsum House or Adsum Centre for mothers who need to attend job interviews and appointments.

$50 can purchase health supplies such as bandages, feminine hygiene supplies and more at our emergency shelter.

$50 pays for one month of maintenance at Adsum Court over the summer to keep the grounds safe and beautiful.

$50 will buy shower and laundry supplies for one month at The Alders by adsum. This includes shampoo, towels and laundry detergent for non-tenants - any women experiencing homelessness and needing a place to shower or wash their clothes.

$100 purchases the groceries for one day's meals and snacks at Adsum House. Our food budget has been stretched over the past several months as we have been at or over capacity at our shelter and are preparing more than 60 nutritious meals each day.

$100 funds a week's worth of programming and support counselling for a resident of Adsum Centre. This can include programs related to parenting, life skills, financial literacy, health and wellness and more.
