E FRY Hope and Help for Women

E FRY Hope and Help for Women (E FRY) started as a volunteer organization 50 years ago. We have over 50 full-time staff members and a number of contract staff, in addition to our incredible team of dedicated volunteers.

Our head office is in Brampton, with satellite offices in Mississauga and Milton. E FRY also operates two residential facilities and the only two women-only Attendance Centers in the Province.

We are a member agency of the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies, (C.A.E.F.S.), comprising 26 sister agencies across Canada. Each is completely autonomous, with an individual Board of Directors, Constitution, By-Laws, and slate of programs.

As a social services agency, we have defined our “community” at several levels – 1, our client base; 2, the Peel and Halton communities; 3, the provincial judicial/correctional systems; and 4, the federal judicial/correctional systems. We have corresponding strategies in place to be relevant for each stakeholder group.

We recognize that each of our clients has very different needs, which are addressed by one or more of the Agency’s 18 programs.

These programs are designed to assist clients in developing:
