Who we are
The Pincher Creek Women’s Emergency Shelter Association is a non-profit organization that provides a safe place for women and children who are experiencing family violence and/or crisis situations. There are three programs available: Residential, Outreach and a Child Support program. Our crisis line is available 24/7 for women and children in need (1-888-354-4868). Our Residential program assists women and children with the basic necessities while they are in shelter. To enter our Residential program please call our hotline. An Intake worker for the Outreach program is available during business hours (403-627-2114) for all inquiries related to Outreach.
Through all of our programs we advocate on behalf of our clients as well as provide education on family violence and safety in a non-judgmental and inclusive manner.
How You Can Help?
We are partially funded through donations from the community. Your donation supports valuable shelter services and allow us to continue its ongoing work in family violence prevention, intervention, and post-intervention. If you are interested in donating items we ask that they are gently used or new items.
