In-Kind Giving
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!
Right now, in King County, we are asking for donations of goods for Welcome Home/Spring Cleaning. If you’d like to get involved, please contact Lori Bugaj at lbugaj@ywcaworks.org for more information. If you’re interested in supporting our participants in Snohomish County, please contact Karla Danson at kdanson@ywcaworks.org.
Thank you for supporting women and families in our community!
