Your donations house those without a home ↘
YWCA North Central Washington depends on a generous community to support our essential work to house homeless and low-income women and families and get them back on their feet to a safe and stable life. Many of our clients are victims of domestic violence, sometimes fleeing for their lives with little of their belongings. Sometimes we are supporting a woman who found herself in the difficult situation of homelessness through losing a job, a health crisis, or other life circumstances. Many women have children in their care and they are also affected deeply by the effects of homelessness. The generous support of individuals, businesses, foundations, and others is what keeps our housing, job training, case management services, and advocacy efforts coming to those in need 365 days a year.
Consider putting your dollars to work in these tangible ways:

Gives clothing essentials to those who need it
