All we can say is you are welcome!! ~  to 100 Mile House & District Women’s Centre

New Monthly Event Starting Soon-We would like to acknowledge the Thompson   Nicola Cariboo United Way for granting $3,500 to The Women’s Centre Drop-in program-specifically to supplement our Emergency Food Cupboard. We recognized there was a need to provide fresh/nutritional options for women and their families as expressed by our clients. There is very little opportunity for them to access food that is not processed. We will be offering an assortment of fresh vegetables and fruits at least once a month. We will also be partnering with the BC Cancer Agency Prevention Programs to provide information on healthful food choices and healthy living, as well as the Food Action Coordinator in 100 Mile House to discuss Food Security initiatives for our clients. We are extremely grateful that the United Way agreed with the need we saw and were willing to fund this endeavour.
