Community Involvement

With our focus on giving back to the community at large, we support the following community organizations:

Donations to Mustard Seed 

We are asking everyone who attends our Luncheons and Mixers to please come with non-perishable food items for our donation box. Bring a couple of cans or a case, whatever your heart desires.  The donations are taken to Mustard Seed on a monthly basis. For more information about Mustard Seed, visit www.MustardSeed.ca.

Wear 2 Start Foundation

Wear 2 Start does a makeover and dresses over 250 women a year in preparation for job interviews.  Their objective is to instill confidence -  they want the women to look good and feel great. 

When choosing clothing you no longer need, ask yourself, “Would I wear this to a job interview?”  Wear 2 Start will only accept clothing that is not tired or dated. Those going for an interview in retail or a restaurant are expected to wear black and white.  Suits and clothing with a more tailored look are acceptable for office interviews. 

Handbags, shoes, scarves, earrings and necklaces that will enhance an outfit are also accepted.  Please take your clothing donations on hangers.

Please call 250-472-9327 to arrange for a mutually convenient date and time to drop off donations.  They are located at 733 Johnson Street.  Remember to let them know that you are from WBN.
