Making a Difference

When you make a gift to the YWCA, you help the most vulnerable among us. Your gift can provide breast health education and support for the uninsured and underinsured. You help provide violence response services for those experiencing domestic violence or sexual assault. You support teen pregnancy education programming and child care quality assurance. You support the YWCA’s efforts to address issues of systemic racism while empowering women.

Your gift to the YWCA can make a difference, offering a hand up, not a handout.
