Naomi’s Centre provides confidential, safe, and secure services and resources.
Naomi’s Family Resource Centre, situated in Winchester, Ontario, in Dundas County, began operations on February 2, 1987. The Centre was established to offer emergency shelter, safety, and support to abused women, with or without children. In response to a recognized need, the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services funded a needs assessment to evaluate the demand for such services in the rural community. The assessment, completed with a final report dated March 21, 1985, confirmed a significant need for these essential services.
As a result, on October 17, 1985, a thirteen-member steering committee was formed to establish a transition home for abused women with or without children.
The Centre is governed by a Board of Directors composed of volunteers from various walks of life. Our heartfelt thanks go to our volunteer Board of Directors, whose dedication and leadership empower our mission to support women and children escaping violence. These leaders generously contribute their time, resources, and expertise to guide our work, advocate for survivors, and drive meaningful change in our community.
