Empowering Women for More Than 50 years

Igniting Hope: 50 Years of Resilience

On May 28, we will gather at The Reach Gallery to celebrate a remarkable milestone: 50 years of SARA for Women. What began as a small group of dedicated individuals advocating for women’s safety has grown into a trusted organization that now provides safe housing, outreach, trauma-informed care, and essential resources for hundreds of women and children across the Fraser Valley each year.

Program Highlights

Honoring Mothers, Empowering Families: A Closer Look at the Pregnancy Outreach Programs.

As we step into May - a month of blossoms, renewal, and the celebration of mothers, we want to shine a light on a program that embodies the heart of what it means to support and nurture motherhood: SARA’s Pregnancy Outreach Program (POPs).

Programs That Support Women & Mothers

Every day, women in our community face unsafe living situations. Discover how SARA for Women is responding through vital shelter and housing programs that provide housing, a safe supportive environment and chance to rebuild a future.

SARA Limited Edition Greeting Cards

In celebration of its 50th anniversary, SARA for Women has introduced a collection of greeting cards facilitated by local artist Linda Klippenstein and created with the help of children living in its housing and support programs.

💡Did You Know.....SARA for Women was originally founded 50 years ago under the name FRONYA. It later became known as The Fraser Valley Women’s Resource Society, a name it held until 2016. That year, the organization rebranded as SARA for Women – which stands for Support, Acceptance, Resources, and Action.
