Why this lunch matters
Together, our community has already achieved something extraordinary.
In the past, we came together, raised the necessary funds, and secured a home that continues to provide safety for women escaping domestic and family violence and homelessness.
Now, Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Women’s Shelter is ready to take the next step.
This International Women’s Day, we invite you to be a part of that moment. Join us at our annual HKWS IWD Lunch for the launch of something big.
