Donate Items

Help impact families in your community by donating critical items needed by YWCA program participants and residents.

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!

Fall is here and we are holding a Winter Warmth drive both for the women in Angeline’s Women’s Shelter and for families in our emergency programs. We are also collecting candy, new and gently used costumes and dress up items for a Halloween party for our children’s programs. Specific items needed are detailed below. 

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!
