Since 1903, the YWCA has been the leading advocate for women and children in our community.
Through a combination of service and social action we reach out to women who are seeking solutions to abusive situations, women who are fighting chemical dependency and women who are in need of job training and education and who want to improve their lives for themselves and their children.
Created by women for women, we have pledged all of our resources, talents and skills to ensure the success of the mission of the YWCA…eliminating racism empowering women.
"Roller Girls" Collect Food for YWCA Shelter
The South Bend Roller Girls strapped on their skates for a good cause this past weekend.
Members of the roller derby team collected food donations for the YWCA shelter at the Kroger store on McKinley Avenue The YWCA is very grateful for their support!
The YWCA North Central Indiana has been awarded a $4,800 grant from football great Peyton Manning's PeyBack Foundation. The grant will be used to provide summer programs for children staying with their mothers at the YWCA's domestic violence shelter.
The PeyBack Foundation was established in 1999 to promote the future success of disadvantaged youth. The YWCA is grateful to Peyton Manning and his Foundation for helping the smallest victims of domestic violence.
Glad you asked! The YWCA houses over 140 women & children every day so we need a lot of things!
Right now we have a critical need for gently used shoes for both women & children. We also need blankets, pillows, sheets and towels. All items can be dropped off at our South Bend Shelter location, 1102 S. Fellows Street. Click hereto find out more needed items and thanks for your generosity!
