If you’ve ever faced abuse, you know it can be stressful and even traumatic. The outreach program is here to help women, including trans and non-binary people, so you don’t have to go through these tough times alone. We’re here to give you one-on-one support.

About Us

Since 1979 the Fernie Women’s Centre has been serving the communities of the Elk Valley, which include Fernie, Sparwood, Elkford and the South Country. Our aim is to raise the status of women, act as a referral and drop-in center, offer support to women and their families, and to inform and educate the public around issues concerning women. The Fernie Women’s Centre will strive for equality and justice for all women and work for the removal of barriers to women’s full economic, social, cultural, legal and political participation.

This infographic has four parts and explains four ways donations are of service to the community. The Emergency Support Fund helps women access a small amount of funding if they are unable to find financial support elsewhere. This fund is generally meant to help them move forward in life by covering basic needs such as food and shelter. The Diapers and Formula program helps provide critical items for children. The Christmas Support program helps between 80-100 families in the Elk Valley provide their children with food and gifts. Finally, the Safe House Fund supports women who are needing financial assistance with securing a safe place to live.
