Amber House, our 17 bed transition house in Prince George, and Eagles Nest, our 6 bed transition house in Burns Lake, would like to recognize the generous financial contribution from the Canadian Women’s Foundation, Shelter From the Storm Campaign.  This campaign took place from April 14 to May 13^th, 2012 through a wide variety of fundraising activities hosted through Winners, HomeSense and Roger’s Media.  We wish to thank Canadian Women’s Foundations and these community minded business for supporting the valuable work we do in providing respite and support to women and children fleeing violence.

We are very excited to announce that we have a new program! This new program is a holistic, strengths based, woman centred care program that supports moms, babes and families. Our new program is called: Baby’s New Beginnings Pregnancy Outreach Program

Find out more about our new program for pregnant women.
