Distributes free food and groceries weekly to residents in YWCA emergency shelter and transitional housing, as well as low-income families from the community.

Due to the current COVID-19 restrictions, we have temporarily moved to home delivery only.

Please fill out the home delivery form and email it to nhilton@ywcaworks.org. Know we do our best to give every client every item they ask for, but some sub-ins may happen.

We are doing our best to see to the needs of the community, the safety of volunteers, and our part of flattening the curve.
