Support Housing Justice: Empower Women with MMHS!
At Mavis McMullen Housing Society (MMHS), we believe that safe and stable housing is a fundamental right. Our two buildings provide more than just shelter for 134 individuals; they offer a supportive community where women can reclaim their independence and thrive without the fear of homelessness.
Your Support Can Make a Real Difference
Every donation helps us address the systemic barriers that women
face. Here’s how your contribution can empower our tenants:
$60
provides a crucial counseling session for a tenant who lacks access to
mental health services, helping her navigate personal
challenges.
$150 supports an honorarium for an Indigenous elder
to facilitate a healing session, honoring cultural traditions and
fostering community resilience.
$250 funds a communal dinner for
all tenants, creating opportunities for connection and support among
women.
$750 covers a wholesale produce delivery, combating food
insecurity and ensuring our tenants have access to healthy food options.

respect, acknowledging her unique needs and
experiences.
Fostering Community: By contributing, you help
create spaces where women can connect, share resources, and uplift one
another.
Breaking Down Barriers: Your generosity enables us to
connect women with vital support and resources, helping them overcome
obstacles to their well-being.
