About Us

WINS (Women In Need Society) is Calgary’s homegrown thrift charity founded in 1992 to provide basic needs to women in poverty and their families.

From our humble beginning, WINS has grown from one thrift store to five stores and a Donation Centre.

The revenue from our stores supports our Free Goods Referral Program and four Family Resource Centres.

Today, people from all walks of life frequent our thrift stores knowing their purchases and donations make a difference – right here, right now.
