Victoria Women in Need Community Cooperative
The Core of What We Do
Our programs provide women, trans, non-binary and Two Spirit people with practical and empowering support along their own journey between crisis, financial self-sufficiency and wellness. Designed to be free of judgment, simple to access, and informed by the wisdom of program participants themselves, we are there along each step of that journey.
WIN recognizes the fluidity of gender and as such our programs are open to self-identifying women, trans, non-binary and Two-Spirit people who identify with the intention of WIN’s programs.

Transforming our Community One program participant at a Time
How do we do this? Thanks to our amazing community, we are able to collect donated goods and provide affordable high quality clothing, household items and furniture through our 5 Resale Shops in Victoria, BC, as well as our online shop.
The revenue from our shops, along with financial donations, covers the entire cost of running our non-profit cooperative, and funds our empowerment programs.
So whether you are a shopper, a donor, or a volunteer, you too have a hand in transforming our community.
