Wheatland Crisis Society, which operates the Strathmore Overnight Shelter, was presented with a generous donation of $1,046 on Monday, February 22, thanks to the Drumheller Shoppers Drug Mart Growing Women’s Health Campaign.
Although the shelter is located in the Town of Strathmore, it also services Drumheller and surrounding communities as part of their local coverage area.
“Our shelter, outreach and public education programs have been serving Drumheller for many years and we are so grateful to have the support of the community,” said Wheatland Crisis Society team lead Carly Cole. “Without the generous support of the citizens of our local area we would not have been able to touch the lives of thousands of families impacted by abuse.”
The donation will help to provide those seeking shelter from domestic and family violence situations with basic necessities and comforts of home while staying at the shelter.
