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!
Help the kids in our shelters celebrate this season with Spring Goodie Gift Bags!
This year, our goal is to get 550 gift bags for children in our programs. You can buy a pre-filled bag/basket or create your own and fill it with fun items like:
- Treats – candy, small toys, or stuffed animals
- Care & Comfort – hygiene items, hair accessories, or socks
- Fun – activity books, learning games, or fidget toys
- Crafts – Art, drawing, or other craft supplies
You can also purchase items from our Amazon wish list.
Please drop off all bags and baskets at our Phillis Wheatley branch no later than Friday, April 4. Phillis Wheatley is located at: 2820 E Cherry St, Seattle, WA 98122 and is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM - 5:00PM.
