Our local women's shelter, Cornerstone Family Violence Prevention Centre is continuing to provide front-line support to keep women and children safe during this pandemic. Unfortunately, countries around the globe are reporting a dramatic increase in domestic violence reports, and women’s shelters across the province are beginning to see signs of this here. Being forced to self-isolate with an abuser is tough enough, but when coupled with the added financial and emotional stress this pandemic has brought, the risk of abuse skyrockets. We must work together to ensure that every woman and child has the opportunity to live without fear. Cornerstone needs our help now more than ever.
You can help by participating in Flocked 4 Shelter!
WHAT: An entirely socially-distant-friendly fundraiser for Cornerstone
WHEN: Summer 2020
HOW: Donate $50 and a flock of 12 flamingos will be delivered on your behalf to a lawn anywhere across Northumberland County, ON, Canada! Make a $100 donation and we'll deliver a "double flock" of 24 flamingos!
