We recently moved to a larger building to serve those in need of our services. This move, and in turn increase in residents, has left our kitchen in need of supplies. The items on this list would help our nutrition team better serve our clients!
If you have any questions about purchasing and reserving items from our kitchen wishlist, please send us an email.
YWCA is collecting in kind $25 gift cards and fun passes for those who are staying at YWCA. These gifts could provide groceries to those who are exiting the shelter, gas to help our moms take their children to school, or a fun experience that offers a break from stress. Gift cards or tickets could bring joy and relief to those who really need it.
If you want to do a gift card donation drive, download this flyer.
