With every day presenting a new challenge, COVID-19 continues to impact our lives in a wide variety of ways. Many of us are currently stuck at home and wondering how we can help our community members most in need. Check out the tips below for how you can aid YWCA women and families at this crucial time.
YWCA could not do the work it does without the hard work and dedication of our community partners. Snohomish County based Millennia Ministries has provided immeasurable support to house the women and families we serve. Check out our chat with Leilani Miller, Executive Director and Co-Founder of the small ministry with a global impact.

Employing anti-racism principles in our day-to-day operations is an essential part of the work we do at YWCA. Through the Volunteer Services Department, we look at several factors in our volunteer outreach and recruiting in order to achieve equitable outcomes in the services that we and the rest of YWCA provide.
We share the stories of our program participants, programs, and staff, as well as news about the agency and what’s happening in our King and Snohomish community.
