Every lunch purchased, every volunteer, and every donation helps support the children and families we serve. Thank you to our amazing community for making this fundraiser such a success!

What an incredible example of what happens when a community comes together 🧡

We are proud to share that our Brown Bag Lunch Fundraiser raised an amazing $8,500 to support the YWCA and the families we serve!

This fundraiser truly was a community effort, and we are beyond grateful to the members of Faith Christian Church and United Congregational Church for their partnership, dedication, and many years of making this tradition such a meaningful success. Your generosity, hard work, and unwavering support continue to make a lasting impact in our community.

A heartfelt thank you also goes to our incredible YWCA staff, their family members, and our Board of Directors who generously gave their time throughout days of preparation, assembly, and delivery. Your willingness to volunteer and serve is what makes events like this possible.

One of the most special parts of this fundraiser was seeing multiple generations working side by side—sharing laughs, building friendships, and giving back together. From longtime volunteers to first-time helpers, every person played an important role, and the joy throughout the week was contagious.

Thank you to everyone who purchased lunches, volunteered, donated, and supported this fundraiser. Together, we're strengthening our community and making a difference for local families every single day.

Thank you for believing in the mission of the YWCA. We couldn't do it without you! 🧡

Building Brighter Futures, One Step at a Time! 🌟

What happens when a space is designed specifically with children in mind? Kristine Vanhoosen, our Director of Early Care and Education, shares how the new YWCA building will transform the experience for our little ones.

From innovative classrooms to intentional "neighborhood" pathways, we’re creating a sense of safety, security, and belonging from day one. This isn't just a building; it’s a place they can truly call their own. 🏠💛
