The Women’s Endowment Fund at the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba provided a grant of $2,814 to Knowles Centre Inc. to replace the dilapidated furniture in the two girls' bedrooms.

 “We believe the children at Knowles Centre are worthy of a bedroom that contributes to their healing, and not an unwelcoming space,” says Michael Burdz, Chief Executive Officer at the Knowles Centre. “We believe providing a nice room shows the children that they are valued and respected and helps them see they are worthy of investing in themselves now and in the future. We are heartened that you see the value of such efforts, as well.”

Grants from the Women’s Endowment Fund at the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba benefit Manitoba women and girls from all ethnic, cultural, religious and socio-economic backgrounds.
