Most-needed items for September 28, 2020

Hello everyone! It’s time for another donation call. We are still providing folks with food in our Boxes of Sunshine program — your donations of canned and dry goods and produce go a long way to keeping people fed!

 We are also seeing a greater need for menstrual hygiene products of all kinds. Since the weather is starting to turn to winter, we are taking winter gear and socks.

You can easily sign up for a drop-off slot at www.calendly.com/sunshinehouse.

If giving straight-up money is more appealing and/or feasible for you, we invite you to visit www.sunshinehousewpg.org/donate!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for your ongoing support!!!

SWWAC's COVID-19 Relief Fund

The Sex Workers of Winnipeg Action Coalition (SWWAC) has set up a COVID-19 Relief Fund for local sex workers. Winnipeg-based sex workers who have lost their income due to the ongoing pandemic can apply to the fund online. Folks who need help with the application can ask outreach workers at SWWAC’s partner agencies, or email SWWAC directly at swwac@sexworkwinnipeg.com.

The Fund is prioritizing Indigenous people, people of colour, trans and queer sex workers, migrants and those with precarious immigration status, as well as sex workers living with illness, disability or in unstable housing situations.

Here is a poster you can download and print: POSTER Want to donate to the fund? Visit the GoFundMe!
