2014 Report to the Community - YWCA Walla Walla

Thank you for believing in the YWCA of Walla Walla!

about the YWCA

The YWCA is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

The YWCA of Walla Walla has been enriching the lives of women and their families since 1917. As a local affiliate of one of the oldest and largest women’s organizations in the United States, we have served the Walla Walla community for nearly a century.

Through healthy and empowering activities, we pursue our vision of a better world. We provide two quality childcare programs and community programs for enriching and empowering young people.

We’re there when women need us most. After a crisis, we work with women to find long-term solutions to abuse and homelessness. We provide shelter, counseling, resources and advocacy for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors.

a letter to you

Life’s most persistent
and urgent question is,
‘What are you
doing for others?’

—Martin Luther King Jr.

Believe that you made a difference in 2014.

This annual report provides a snapshot of what your generous gifts accomplished in 2014—all because you and more than 2,500 individuals, families, businesses and organizations believed in our mission. Friends of the YWCA gave over $360,000 in donor support, countless in-kind gifts and more than 800 volunteer hours. We are grateful for your confidence and inspired every day by the giving spirit of our community.

Because of these gifts, thousands of people walked through our doors or called our crisis line secure in their belief that the YWCA is a safe, welcoming place to learn something new, find support, count on quality care for their children, be safe.

Thank you for believing in the YWCA of Walla Walla!

thank you, donors!

The YWCA’s work is only possible because of you. You believed in the women and families we serve, and you showed it every time you made a difference with your generous gifts or stood up and spoke out on behalf of those who needed your help. Thank you.

We appreciate every business, family, and individual whose cash donations made our programs possible. And your in-kind gifts to the YWCA—contributions of prizes for events and basic necessities for women and children in our programs—also made life better for the people we serve. We couldn’t do it without you.
