Last week the Club was joined by Laura Ip, Resource & Development Coordinator for the YWCA. The YWCA Niagara provides shelter, food and assistance to homeless women in poverty while trying to break the cycle of poverty.  The YWCA's goal is to help homeless women transition from temporary, emergency programs to permanent housing while providing integral life skills training. It is so easy for society to blame the victim for their misfortunes until one day, it happens to them.
