At Women's Habitat, we work with women who live in poverty every day. Often, by the end of the month, there is no more money for groceries. We have a small food bank at our outreach location that we use for our clients.

You can help us by collecting non-perishable food items such as:

  • Peanut Butter
  • Baby Formula and Food
  • Canned Fruits or Vegetables
  • Canned Fish or Meat
  • Dried Pasta and Tomato Sauce
  • Diapers/Diaper Wipes
  • Rice
  • Lentils
  • Cans of Soup or Hearty Stew
  • Cans of Beans
  • Macaroni and Cheese

For more information or questions, contact Ursula Krubnik at ukrubnik@womens-habitat.ca or call 416-252-7949 x 230.


When you volunteer, everyone benefits. Volunteering is a rewarding experience that can help bring you feelings of self-fulfillment by investing a part of yourself - your time, energy and emotion - to help benefit individuals around you.

At Women's Habitat, volunteers provide high-quality, reliable services that support the work of our organization and enhance the quality of life for our clients. Violence against women can be stopped! To do it, we need your help.

As a part of our team, you have an opportunity to:

  • Support a cause you truly believe in
  • Increase social awareness
  • Expand your current skills and discover new talents


At Women's Habitat, volunteers provide support in shelter operations, direct service to women and children, administration, fundraising, community awareness and Outreach services. Women's Habitat does not participate in Ontario Works.
