Soroptimist International is an international organization for business and professional women who volunteer in order to improve the lives of women and girls in their communities and throughout the world.
In June of this year, Soroptimist International Victoria Westshore celebrated the grand opening of Anney’s Closet for young women in need. For a recent article on this wonderful resource for at-risk young women, read the article from the Times Colonist.
Anney’s Closet will be a free store where young women referred by social agencies can select furniture and household items that will transform their first apartments into functional and comfortable homes. In accessing Anney’s Closet, young women will not impact their Youth Agreement stipend. This is a much needed resource in the Westshore and congratulations to Anna Harvey for pulling the support of many organizations and funders to make this possible.
