Baskets of Hope event supports Win House residents

An annual fundraiser for victims of domestic violence takes place Tuesday evening.

The 2024 Baskets of Hope fundraiser, organized by the Rohit Group, provides baskets filled with personal care products to Win House residents, including women, non-binary people and children fleeing domestic violence.

This year’s theme is “Voices Light the Way.”

The charity event will be held at Rohit’s new headquarters in downtown Edmonton and will include a silent auction, live music, refreshments, a 50/50 raffle and a jewelry station.

New to the event this year are exhibits giving guests a deeper understanding of the challenges survivors face, as well as chefs preparing meals while sharing their experience working with the Win House women’s shelter.

Salma Lakhani, Lieutenant Governor of Alberta, will also be there to support the cause.

Organizers encourage guests to bring items to the fundraiser to show their support. A full list of favorites and things to avoid can be found here.

Last year, Baskets of Hope was able to deliver 251 baskets and contribute over $11,000 to Win House.

Since 2010, fundraising has delivered more than 2,000 baskets.

The fundraiser will take place Tuesday from 5-9 p.m. at Rohit’s headquarters located at 10130 112 St., NW.
