NANAIMO WOMEN’S RESOURCES SOCIETY LAUNCHES EXPANDED WEBSITE
Nanaimo—Services and support for women in the Nanaimo area are now just a click away, thanks to the Nanaimo Women’s Resources Society’s newly revamped website. Located at www.nanaimowomen.com, the website was created by Inner Core Design and contains current, comprehensive information about the society, which operates the Nanaimo Women’s Centre.

Visitors to the new website can access local services, learn about Nanaimo Women’s Centre programs and upcoming events, research volunteer opportunities, or find out how to become a member of the Nanaimo Women’s Resources Society. Information about how to make donations—be they monetary or other—is also provided.

“There are so many ways to help women in need,” said Colleen Parsley, Nanaimo Women’s Centre Drop-In Coordinator. “It can be as simple as attending an event that supports the Nanaimo Women’s Centre, or bringing in a donation of used clothing, or donating expertise to provide a seminar or workshop for our clients. The new website connects us to our community and informs the public about who we are and how our work to assist women can be supported.”

Located at 285 Selby Street in Nanaimo’s Old City Quarter, the Nanaimo Women’s Centre is open from 10am to 3pm Tuesdays through Fridays, and serves women and children through its Drop In and Building Bridges Programs. The Centre is a vibrant, supportive space offering resources, information, workshops and other community events.
