Honor the important people in your life…Give the Gift of Hope!
Are you looking for a unique gift for your family or office co-worker, book or card club get-together, or for teachers, caregivers and service providers? Is your business interested in showing appreciation to its customers with something besides another box of candy or a calendar?
How about a gift that truly keeps on giving? Support the YWCA Dayton’s Gift of Hope Campaign! The Gift of Hope allows you to honor your friends, families or colleagues by making a donation to the YWCA Dayton in their names.
Your gift will play a vital role in helping the YWCA Dayton continue its mission of eliminating racism and empowering women. We have a 139-year legacy of addressing critical social needs in our Dayton community, including: domestic violence, racial justice, homelessness, childcare, affordable housing, plus self-sufficiency and personal development for women and teens.
Your investment will provide hope for a better tomorrow to the women and children who turn to the YWCA during their most desperate times looking for shelter, comfort, guidance and the opportunity to rebuild their lives.
