2024 June Charity Pick: Halton Women’s Place
At CS-1 Transportation Inc., we deeply value our role in the community and are committed to making a positive impact. Each month, we contribute $1 for every transaction to a charity chosen by our dedicated teams, reflecting our shared commitment to social responsibility.
This month, our Customer Service team has chosen to support “Halton Women’s Place.”
Since its inception in Milton in October 1980, Halton Women’s Place has been a beacon of hope and safety, providing refuge to over 500 women and children in its first two years alone, while also handling more than 700 crisis calls.
In response to growing needs, a second shelter was established in Burlington in January 1994, which has been a vital resource, operating at near capacity and moreover addressing over 2500 crisis calls annually.
Serving the Halton Region community, including Burlington, Milton, Halton Hills, and Oakville in Ontario, Canada, Halton Women’s Place is a remarkable organization. It is dedicated to offering a safe haven and crisis services for women and their dependent children. A haven for those who have endured physical, emotional, financial, and sexual abuse. The organization provides not only a secure environment but also essential information and education, empowering women and their children. Allowing them to envision and achieve a future free from abuse.
