Community is at the center of what we do. This month we are taking a moment to thank and acknowledge all the individuals, volunteers, businesses, companies, and staff that supported the YWRC last fiscal year.
 
Check out our most recent Annual Report for a glimpse behind the scenes, what's been going on in programs, and more information on the impact you have made for local girls and young women.

Summer Program Lunches
 
We need your help to provide 25 days of lunches for our upcoming Summer Programs. 10 meals are needed per day and can be either a hot meal or sack lunch. Example: Sack/cold lunch could include a sandwich or wrap, a fruit or veggie option, chips or a cookie/dessert, and an individually contained drink.
 
This is a great project to do as a group. Providing meals and snacks is one way we work towards food security.
