There’s still time to support Ishtar Women's Resource Society through the Giving Shelter Campaign! 🦋

Thank you to Shoppers Drug Mart Aldergrove Village, Thunderbird Village, 208th & 80th Ave, Brookswood Mall, Langley Crossing, and Murrayville Square for choosing Ishtar again and supporting our services to women and children. 💜

The campaign runs until October 9. If you’re able, stop by a participating Shoppers Drug Mart location in Langley and consider making a donation.

Every contribution makes a difference.

Our annual Giving Shelter campaign is happening now through October 9. The campaign supports over 300 women’s shelters and programs across Canada.

You can support by visiting your local Shoppers Drug Mart and rounding up your total at checkout, or by donating online at shoppersfoundation.ca

All donations stay in the communities where they are raised.

Together, we can help women break free from abuse. ❤️
