The Women’s Network Ontario Region is partnering with New Circles this holiday season!

New Circles provides comprehensive skills training and settlement support to newcomers, refugees, and equity-deserving individuals and families. Located in Toronto, New Circles assists more than 21,000 equity-deserving individuals every year! New Circles understands that clothing empowers people, highlights individuality and allows you to express yourself through your personal style, as well as simply providing clothes to those in need.

New Circles offers various programs, including GLOW (Gently Loved Outfits to Wear). GLOW is about ensuring clients live with dignity as they assist in setting them up on a positive path forward. The focus is on providing an inclusive and respectful shopping experience at no cost.

New Circles is requesting the following items be donated:

• Winter Jackets (Women, Men, and Children)
• Winter Boots (Women, Men, and Children)
• Winter Accessories (Women, Men, and Children)
• Clothes of all sizes and varieties 
• Diapers (all sizes)
• Baby Wipes

New Circles requests that you package your clean items in clear plastic bags only. Clearly label bags with the size and type of clothing. For example: Women Size 6-8, Boys Size 4-6.  Please package and label all winter outerwear/boots separately from clothing.

Our ask is simple, select items that you no longer need, place them in clear bags, label, and bring to the Ontario Holiday Reception on November 28^th at Paramount EventSpace.

The EFC Women’s Network Ontario Region Committee will be delighted to assist you with pick up if required or if you are not attending the Ontario Holiday Reception. Please contact Sandra Tomassi, Chair, Rita Sleiman, Vice-chair or Nathalie Lajoie, Ontario Team Lead.
