Bringing Hope with YWCA Saskatoon: $19M Hope Lives Here Campaign

In September 2023, the YWCA Saskatoon launched the Hope Lives Here Campaign with an inspiring mission: to fund the expansion of their crisis shelter and residence—creating a safe haven for women and children who need it. This ambitious campaign seeks to raise $19 million, with significant funding already secured. The shelter expansion will more than double the current capacity and is set to open in December 2024.

The need for this expansion is undeniable. In 2022, YWCA Saskatoon had to turn away 4,253 women, children, and youth due to full capacity. These numbers highlight the critical need for additional resources and support for women and children in our community. The expanded shelter will provide not only more beds but also enhanced facilities and support services, ensuring a comprehensive approach to helping those in crisis.

Thanks to the generosity of numerous donors and supporters, the campaign has made significant progress and is nearing completion. This exceptional headway reflects the community's commitment to providing a safe and supportive environment for those who require it. However, there is still work to be done to reach the ultimate goal of $19 million.
