The Welcome Centre Shelter for Women is looking for some help as it searches for a new home.
It has launched a monthly giving program called "500 hopes for 500 homes" with a goal of getting 500 people to donate $20 a month to cover current operating expenses.
Centre Strategic Partnership Manager Kristin Douglas says it would allow the group to focus on fundraising for a new home.
"We wanted to have something in place where we knew our doors could stay open in the meantime so we could focus on this project," says Douglas.
The group helps 500 women and children annually.
The search for a new home to house the women and their families is estimated at $2-million
Douglas says the centre is eyeing a building in the westend.
