Who We Help
Local agencies supporting women across Toronto
Our Partners
Where Your Support Goes
Every December, we present cheques to the agencies we support to thank them for their work with underserved women in the GTA. These are the organizations we fund year after year.
Employment
Times Change Women's Employment Service
Founded in 1974, Times Change Women's Employment Service is a Toronto-based non-profit that helps women build sustainable, fulfilling careers. Through free career counselling, workshops, computer training and more, it supports women who are job searching, changing careers or re-entering the workforce.
For more than 10 years, Zonta Toronto has provided funding to purchase up-to-date computer equipment and programs.
Zonta Toronto's support helps us close the digital gap for women re-entering the workforce. Their generosity gives our clients the computer skills and confidence they need to compete for today's jobs. We are so grateful to work with an organization that cares so much about women.

Shelter & Housing
Street Haven
Street Haven at the Crossroads has helped women in Toronto for 60 years.
Street Haven supports women who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Its services work together: a 24/7 emergency shelter, supportive and transitional housing, addiction recovery and mental health support, and employment, life skills and literacy programs. Throughout, women support women as they move from crisis to stability and independence.
Zonta Toronto shows the women we serve that there is a community of women in Toronto who care about them. Zonta members raise funds, knit hats, put together care packages and roll up their sleeves to help, and that is what philanthropy truly looks like.

Safe Moves
Shelter Movers
Shelter Movers is a national, volunteer-powered charity that provides moving and storage services at no cost to individuals and families fleeing abuse. Since 2016, it has completed more than 10,000 moves across the country, supporting people, primarily women and children, as they transition to a life free from violence.
For many years, the Zonta Club of Toronto has provided funds to help move women and their families out of violent situations. $500 moves one family.
Zonta Toronto's partnership is a meaningful investment in safety and the opportunity for survivors and their children to move forward free from violence, without the barriers that can make leaving abuse even harder.

Survivor Care
Women's College Hospital Sexual Assault Centre
The Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence Care Centre (SA/DVCC) at Women's College Hospital is a comprehensive, acute service for people of all genders and gender identities over the age of 16 who are victims or survivors of sexual assault and domestic or intimate partner violence.
For several years, the Zonta Club of Toronto has provided funds to purchase track suits, which are given free of charge to women who have to surrender their clothing as evidence.
