Economical Insurance, in association with local broker partner PV&V Insurance, donated $10,000 to YWCA Hamilton on Wednesday. The donation funds YWCA Hamilton’s “At the Table” program, which provides healthy food and training opportunities for impoverished women.
Specifically, the “At the Table” program operates a social enterprise catering business that allows participating women to not only find a way to sustain themselves, but also to network with other women in transition.
"We really appreciate the generosity shown to us by Economical Insurance,” said YWCA Hamilton CEO Denise Christopherson. “We hope that through the leadership of PV&V and Economical, others will join YWCA Hamilton in support of 'At the Table' and our 'Kitchen & Café' renovation project."
"We are pleased to make this donation in association with PV&V Insurance to support the good work being done at YWCA Hamilton that helps women and girls in the Hamilton area who need it most," remarked Economical Insurance Regional Vice-President of Sales and Distribution for Ontario Robert Gow.
PV&V Insurance has previously lent its support to another of YWCA Hamilton’s programs—“Be the Recipe for Change.” The program provides meals for the 65 women in the Transitional Living Program.
YWCA Hamilton, established 1889, helps women in crisis find transitional housing and social enterprise opportunities.
