WHY SUPPORT THE YWCA OF NORTHWEST GEORGIA….  For over 92 years we have been serving the citizens of Cobb County. We built the first domestic violence shelter in the State of Georgia and provide the only safe haven from   domestic violence for women and children in Cobb County. We are the only social service provider to partner with law enforcement, the DA’s office, and WellStar Health System to provide services to victims of sexual assault over the age of 13 in Cobb, Cherokee and Paulding counties.
