What if I told you that you could help us make a difference - by shopping? Well, you can when you join the Hbc Rewards Community Program. It’s an easy and exciting way to shop for your favourite Hbc items and make a contribution to Northumberland Services for Women.

 If you are an Hbc Rewards member, you can now link your Hbc Rewards account to NSW and automatically start contributing your Hbc Reward points. Every time you shop at the Hbc family of stores which includes Bay, Zellers, and Home Outfitters, you can truly make a difference by supporting women and children in Northumberland County who are fleeing abuse.

 Once you designate your points, you can contribute anywhere from 10-100% of the points you earn to NSW. This means that every time you shop at an Hbc family store, you can help us get closer to redeeming for the much needed items that are outside of our annual budget.

All you have to do is:

2.    Under New Members or Current Members Donate to a Community Group

 Leaving a Legacy

Canadians give for many different reasons: for some it is a way to ensure their memory lives on, for many it’s a way to ensure that their favourite charity is able to continue its important work, while for others it represents a way to facilitate the tax implications that come with the transfer of one’s estate to surviving relatives.

Your will is more than a legal document. It can be one of the most powerful tools you have to help end violence against women. Through a bequest in your will to the Northumberland Services for Women, you can leave a legacy of change that will help to end violence against women for future generations. Fulfill your philanthropic dreams and support Northumberland Services for Women while creating a future without violence: bequest a gift or make monthly donations today.   Please click on our Donate button to see how you can easily donate!
