This holiday season, you helped bring joy to over 350 children through our Angel Tree Project! Your generosity brought the magic of the season to families in our community and gave parents not only hope and relief but also the opportunity to pick out new clothing items for their families. It was truly heartwarming to see parents shopping for their children and, for some, treating themselves to something new for the first time in years. Thank you for being part of our mission to build a stronger, more connected community. Together, we’re making a lasting impact. As we look ahead to 2025, we’re excited to continue empowering women, girls, and families through programs that inspire, uplift, and create lasting change. #AngelTree2024 #YWCAInspires #StrongerTogether

Yesterday, we partnered with the Emerson Diversity Health Foundation to bring free health services and food distribution to our community, and the turnout was nothing short of amazing! Over 125 individuals received support, including comprehensive health screenings, demonstrating the power of collaboration and community care. These screenings went beyond vision checks—they identified potential conditions such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, and macular edema, making a real difference in so many lives. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who made this event possible, especially our partner Emerson Diversity Health Foundation! Together, we’re closing gaps in access to essential care and building a stronger, healthier community #YWCAInspires #CommunitySupport #HealthEquity #StrongerTogether
