Graphic thanking Aura Cacia for their supportCalvary Women’s Services extends a heartfelt thank you to Aura Cacia, recipient of the 2024 Partner of the Year Award. Aura Cacia was honored at the 2024 Hope Gala last April in recognition of their unwavering commitment to empowering women and supporting Calvary’s mission.

“Aura Cacia has demonstrated an incredible dedication to creating positive change,” says Kisha James, Chief Development Officer at Calvary Women’s Services. “Their generosity, both in terms of time and resources, has played an essential role in improving the lives of the women we serve.”

Aura Cacia has provided critical support to Calvary’s programs, offering more than $100,000 in grants and in-kind donations through their Positive Change Project, launched in 2016, with a mission of providing meaningful financial support to organizations committed to helping women and girls facing difficult life situations.

Their investments in Calvary’s housing, employment, and education programs have empowered hundreds of women to transform their lives.

“At Aura Cacia, we believe in empowering women to lead healthier, more purposeful lives, which is why we launched the Aura Cacia Positive Change Project in 2016,” says Alyssa Stockman, Brand Manager for Aura Cacia. “Our mission aligns seamlessly with Calvary Women’s Services’ commitment to supporting women experiencing homelessness as they work to transform their lives.”

“Being named Calvary’s 2024 Partner of the Year was an incredible honor, and attending the Hope Gala last April was a truly moving experience. Seeing firsthand the resilience of the women in Calvary’s programs, as well as the passion of the staff and supporters, reaffirmed our commitment to making a positive impact,” says Stockman. “Their work continues to inspire us every day.”

Corporate partners like Aura Cacia are essential to Calvary’s ability to support women as they transform their lives. In 2024, Calvary served more than 250 women, more than ever before. This would not have been possible without the funding and in-kind support provided by an incredible community of corporate partners.

“For any organization looking to make a meaningful difference, Calvary Women’s Services is an outstanding partner. Their team is deeply committed to their mission, ensuring that every effort and contribution directly impacts the lives of the women they serve,” says Stockman. “Partnering with Calvary means being part of real, measurable change—helping women build confidence, gain independence, and transform their futures.
