Empowering women and their children to build a new path for life.

Nellie’s is a place of respite and rejuvenation for women* and their children navigating a variety of challenges. Through community outreach, skill-building programs, and space for the unhoused to find shelter, clients are empowered to take steps to change their lives. We welcome people who seek guidance as they reclaim their strength and tap into their resilience to find a new path for their life. The individuals who come through the shelter or access our community outreach programs come to us with unique experiences and needs. Nellie’s mandate to help ALL women and their children, regardless of circumstances is what makes the organization’s work essential.

*Nellie’s affirms the inclusion of trans women and non-binary people in our vision of who we serve and support.

This World Mental Health Day, let’s remind ourselves — and each other — that resting is an act of strength, not shame. 🫶

This is what happens when housing is treated as an investment instead of a human right. 🏠
💛 Everyone deserves a safe place to call home.

The stats just keep getting higher. And each statistic tells a story like Jane Doe's. We will continue to work tirelessly to disrupt this cycle of systemic violence because, devastatingly, our mission is needed now more than ever. 💔

Last week's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation was incredibly special, as we honoured the day with our community members at our weekly food bank. We were so touched to see so many come out in their orange shirts. 🧡

Oh, how we wish it was still summer! ☀️ Dreaming of this fun day at the waterfront with our Women on the Move group, sharing a picnic, and cooling off at a mist installation. 💧
