LakeHouse Bath+Kitchen Hosts Personal Care Collection Drive for The Women’s Centre Grey Bruce
By Info
Wiarton, ON – February 13, 2025 – LakeHouse Bath+Kitchen is proud to announce its second annual Personal Care Collection Drive in support of The Women’s Centre Grey Bruce. From February 17 to March 7, the Grey Bruce community is invited to donate essential personal care items to help women, children, and youth escaping violence and abuse.
Last year, thanks to the generosity of our community, we collected over 700 items to donate. This year, we aim to make an even greater impact by ensuring The Women’s Centre is well-stocked with the essential supplies they need.
The Women’s Centre Grey Bruce provides life-saving support to over 1,500 women annually through crisis calls, safety planning, and outreach programs, including counselling and court support. Shelters like The Women’s Centre play a critical role in offering safety and a fresh start for women and youth fleeing dangerous situations.
“We were overwhelmed by the generosity of our community last year, and we know that together, we can do even more in 2025,” said Rebecca Vascotto, owner of LakeHouse Bath+Kitchen. “A simple donation of shampoo, soap, or deodorant may seem small, but it makes a world of difference to someone starting over.”
Heather Sheldrick, Executive Director of The Women’s Centre Grey Bruce, emphasized the importance of community support: “Every donation, no matter how small, plays a crucial role in ensuring the women and youth we support have access to basic necessities. We are incredibly grateful to LakeHouse Bath+Kitchen and the Wiarton community for their continued generosity and commitment to making a difference.”
