Message of Hope

The Rotary Club of Port Moody along with the Soroptimist’s sent out a call to our Community in December to help women in need.

The Message of Hope project put together 50 packages of essential items to be given to 50 women in need in the Tri-Cities. Each of the packs included:

• Razors
• Comb or small hair brush
• Chapstick
• Kleenex
• Hand sanitizer

• Travel size bar of soap or body wash
• Wash Cloth
• Travel size shampoo & conditioner
• Travel size body or hand lotion
• Tooth brush & toothpaste
• Dental floss
• Band aids
• Feminine hygiene products
• Socks
• Deodorant
• Razors
• Comb or small hair brush
• Chapstick
• Kleenex
• Hand sanitizer

So many people came together to help these woman. We received far more donations than expected and were able to put together over 100 packs!

Bea’s Kloset free store

The Soroptimist’s run a ‘free store’ called Bea’s Kloset for women and young girls transitioning to life on their own. Some of the items donated will go there. Using household items donated by friends of Soroptimists and other donors, the recipients can shop for free for the household items they need.

Women and girls in our community can be referred from partnered social service agencies and have the opportunity to select items from Bea’s Kloset that will transform their new apartments into functional and comfortable homes.

Community assistance

We greatly appreciate all the products, time and resources that were donated to this project. Without them, this would not have been possible.
