Our Work
For more than three decades, Women in Need Society (WINS) has been committed to helping people in need in Calgary through our community programs that provide basic needs, emotional support, and vital resources. These programs enable individuals to build resiliency that inspires them and their families to thrive. We are able to do this through revenues generated through our Thrift Stores and through the generous donations of Calgarians like you.
Our Impact
in 2022


Why shop WINS?
We are Calgary’s homegrown charity social enterprise that funds our community programs and services through donations and revenues from our Thrift Stores. Rather uniquely, we are able to contribute your donations, both funds and goods, to our programs by operating separate sustainable shopping brands, bulk thrifting More Store, and online thrifting Twice New to cover other expenses.

Why support WINS?
We change lives by providing barrier-free access to programs and services for women and their families. You can be a part of our cause too! Become a valued WINS volunteer, partner with us to amplify our efforts, or make a donation to support our mission. Together, we can create a positive impact and uplift those in need. Experience the joy of giving back with WINS today!
