Royal LePage Shelter Foundation Update East Coast Broker Meeting, January 22, 2016

Giving Hope k IS WHAT WE DO

At Royal LePage, we know that a house is only truly a home if the people who live there feel safe and loved. For the thousands of women and children who experience violence and abuse under their own roof, we make it possible for them to have safety, hope and help to rebuild their lives.

Why we help

How shelters use our donations Beyond just a safe place to stay, shelters and shelter workers provide a range of services, resources and supports that allow women to grow and thrive as survivors. Therapeutic counseling for women and children Training and job placement Help for legal, health and housing issues Support for children and youth Shelter renovations and new construction Helping women and children move out of the shelter and live independently
