Donate Items
At YWCA, we are on a mission eliminate racism and empower women. We work with women and families furthest from opportunity and work to eliminate disparities in housing, economic advancement, health, and safety. BIPOC communities have continued to be the hardest hit in the face of continued economic challenges resulting from the pandemic and continued inflation. To support those most vulnerable in our community, we need your help!
Summer is here and the kids in our programs are looking for things to do. Please consider donating the following types of items to help keep the kids busy and engaged this summer:
- $25 Gas gift cards – for families to go and enjoy the outdoors
- Sports balls and equipment – basketballs, footballs, baseballs, volley, soccer and tennis balls (Please NO bats or toy guns)
- Arts and craft kits and supplies
- Tickets or passes to games, events and attractions
- Water fun – sunscreen, beach balls, frisbees, beach towels and sand toys
Children’s items can also be found on our Amazon wish list at: https://a.co/hHMuI4L

A BIG Thank You to everyone who participated in our Mother’s Day Drive, with special thanks to Amazon BF15, Premera, Kalos Church, Sound Transit, and SpaceX. With your generous donations we were able to hand out 453 Mother’s Day bags to the women in our programs!
