Each year PKAR REALTOR members select a registered charity to support, through the RealtorsCare Foundation of Ontario, with a focus on initiatives that directly benefit shelter-based needs in our community.

“It is integral for us to get behind this meaningful organization and contribute towards helping provide support for women who experience violence and abuse,” said Jon Maxwell, president of PKAR. “As a result of the generosity of our REALTOR members over the years, PKAR is proud to have donated over $100,000.00 to local charities like the YWCA.”

“YWCA Peterborough Haliburton is honoured to receive this generous donation from PKAR in order to provide much-needed safe shelter and support for local women and children experiencing gender-based violence,” said Kim Dolan, Executive Director of YWCA Peterborough Haliburton. “The need at YWCA Crossroads Shelter has increased as a result of the pandemic and we are immensely thankful to PKAR’s membership for their dedicated and compassionate response.”

YWCA Peterborough Haliburton provides safe shelter, resources and support to help women safely escape violent situations, build upon their existing strength, and move forward in their lives.
