Other Projects

Under the direction of long-time club member and expert florist, Margitta Schulz (Margitta’s Flowers in the Lonsdale Quay), the holiday wreath-making fundraiser is a favourite among members. We come together before the December holidays to have some fun and collaborate in designing beautiful wreaths. The wreathes are sold to support various initiatives focused on improving the lives of women and girls. We have raised $25,000 to date!

Dream Bags are a gesture of hope and love to women in our community. A gently used purse is filled with much needed personal care items. The many items such as shampoo, tissues, nail care items, scarves, makeup, journals and pens, although small, are given with love to connect with women who may be in need.

Last spring our Local Love Project worked with Howe Sound Women’s Center’s to determine specific needs, and care hampers including PJ’s, grocery gift cards, bus passes and many other items to support women seeking safety for themselves and their children were delivered to the Center.

Local Love has provided warm socks and gloves to clients at a Community Outreach Program, and a Christmas package to isolated seniors. Our club has also provided personal care items distributed through North Shore Neighbourhood House to food bank clients many of whom are young, single mothers.
