Reasons to Give
CWAVS started as a small group of women in the 1970s who wanted to help other women in need. CWAVS’ 1970s crisis hotline has grown into a community organization that serves Cowichan and beyond with over 26 programs. Our Raven’s Nest Child and Youth Advocacy Centre is the only CYAC north of the Malahat and Gulf Islands, and we are continuing to expand our education programs, counselling, and housing services as well as programs for families and men/boys.
A donation to CWAVS is a contribution to a long-standing growing community support system for the most vulnerable people in need. A donation to CWAVS is a step toward reaching a community where no one is left behind.
