PETERBOROUGH, Ontario - Dec. 1, 2021 - PRLog -- – 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. In 2021 YWCA Peterborough Haliburton was chosen as PKAR's selected charity resulting in a donation of $23,318.74.

"It is integral for us to get behind this meaningful organization and contribute towards helping provide support for women who experience violence and abuse," commented 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 helps women to safely escape dangerous situations involving violence and provides the necessary support to rebuild their lives. To learn more about how you can donate to YWCA Peterborough Haliburton, please visit https://ywcapeterborough.org/give/.
