Sudbury Women’s Centre launches virtual trick-or-treat campaign

October 21, 2021

It is more than Halloween sending chills down our spines this year. With the cold fast approaching, the Sudbury Women’s Centre is knocking on virtual doors to help keep the community safe and warm.

“There is nothing scarier than the unknown,” Giulia Carpenter, executive director of the SWC, said Wednesday. “Our clients have experienced the fear of uncertainty more than ever this year, and it is our mission to give them access to the basic needs items, resources and tools to put an end to that uncertainty.”

Online donations made during the SWC’s first virtual trick-or-treat campaign can make three times the impact in women’s lives, providing practical essential items, as well as offering encouragement and emotional support.

“Contributions received by our generous community make a much bigger impact than you might think this spooky season,” Carpenter added. “Not only do we provide grocery gift cards to feed women and their children — we help to nourish bodies and souls. Along with basic needs items, we create opportunities to present their best selves, encouraging confidence and hope.”
