The Victoria Women in Need Community Cooperative (WIN) Rebuilds Lives with Powerful Programs and Reused Items

??At FROGBOX we are blessed with the privilege of making new friends every day! Recently, we connected with an awesome group of folks in Victoria BC called “WIN” (The Victoria Women In Need Community Cooperative). We had just finished picking up a massive order of boxes from BC Ferries, when we heard that WIN wanted to obtain some durable moving boxes. It was very synchronistic! We were excited to see hundreds of our boxes go to a great place! WIN is a powerful organization, which provides women with the resources they need to help themselves. They support an average of 1000 women each year!  WIN's newly acquired FROGBOX moving boxes will be used to transport and store donations. Some of these donations go to their “New Start Program”, which assists women, who are moving out of transition homes and stepping into independence. These women are provided with supportive programs and essential household items. Items such as beds, linens and kitchen supplies are always appreciated. Currently, there is a great need for mattresses and toasters. It is exciting to see an organization that connects donations directly with recipients in need. 

Since we encountered WIN, we are on a mission to find similar programs in Vancouver, Seattle and Toronto. Please stay tuned for future posts about meaningful ways to donate your household items!
