About this service
Often, women who are incarcerated at The Winnipeg Remand Centre or Women's Correctional Centre (WCC) have only the clothing they were wearing at the time of arrest. If there has been a change of season, the clothing the women have can be inappropriate for that time of year (summer clothing in winter). Because of this, release packages are put together for women who have recently been released from the WCC, provincial or federal institutions.
EFSM assists women with very practical needs when they are released from institutions. Clothing, hygiene products (if available), and a few household items are provided on an ad-hoc basis. The items, obtained through donations, are given to the women without any fees attached.
We also provide "court clothes" to community and incarcerated who are before the criminal and/or child welfare court and inmate clothing packages to federally sentenced women (penitentiary package). We provide clothing and shoes for all seasons, as well as winter wear.
Who can use it?
Women who are incarcerated and being released
