there lies beauty within all of us

It is our mission to empower women to create a world of peace, racial justice, dignity, freedom and equality for all. Our vision aims to make YWCA Rock County the go-to organization for Rock County women of all backgrounds to be renewed, empowered and inspired as catalysts for change in their communities. Welcome!

 

About YWCA Rock County The work of the YWCA Rock County focuses on four strategic areas: violence in our homes and communities; racial justice; economic empowerment; and member/community services & advocacy. Services include a shelter for victims of abuse; quality child care programs; CARE House - a child advocacy center; transitional living apartments and self sufficiency services; and a Women's Economic Empowerment Center.

Frequently asked questions What does your organization need for donations?    Because of limited space and the safety of our clients, YWCA Rock County partners with other local non-profit organizations for item donations. We ask that all clothing, used toys, child safety seats, furniture and other household items be taken to: Acts of Kindness, 1212 S. Oakhill Ave. (608) 728-0841. For furniture donations, please visit Salvation Army or call Rock Responds (608) 757-3051. Current needs include: groceries, pillows, sheets, blankets, cleaning and laundry supplies, personal hygiene products, towels, underwear, socks, diapers, baby formula, bus tokems, gas and phone cards, blank DVDs, batteries.

We need your support, now more than ever.

Exciting Events!

Take us up on the
Becker Challenge!

Madison Attorney, Don Becker of Becker Law Office, is so committed to improving lives he’s willing to put his money where his heart is. Becker will give $2 for every $1 raised up to $2500. The funds raised in this challenge will help us give more families access to quality, affordable child care.   YWCA Rock County is one of two local agencies who have been offered this opportunity; our friends and partners at Community Action, Inc., are also beneficiaries. Community Action’s Becker Challenge gifts will support their Merrill Housing Initiative.
