Optimism Place Women’s Shelter and Support Services has expanded out on a near 7000 sq ft expansion at the Stratford Facility.
The new expanded space will host 10 new bedrooms, office and large living spaces.
To help fund raise, Optimism Place has launched “Artists Inspiring Hope and Healing” to allow donours to purchase local artwork which will hang on the walls of the new space.
Donna Jean Forster, Manager of Finance and Fund Development for Optimism Place says the $1 million goal has been off to a hot start.
“Our community is very generous. So far we have raised about 32 per cent of our goal.” said Forster.
Sales of the artwork are available now until early April.
Price ranges of the artwork can be filtered from under $200 to over $1000 with a large selection available to view.
