BRIGHTEN THE SEASON FOR A FAMILY IN NEED.
At YWCA Cass Clay, the holidays shine a little brighter because of you. Your generosity helps us deck the halls with trees and lights, fill wish lists with care, and bring joy to families who need it most. Together, we make the season special.
ADOPT A FAMILY
Women and children living at YWCA Emergency Shelter are fighting for access to their most basic needs—safety, shelter, food, warm clothes, and other necessities. And for many parents living in YWCA Supportive Housing, purchasing gifts for their children simply isn’t an option due to other critical financial priorities like food, utilities, and paying down debt.
When you adopt a family at YWCA, you spread holiday cheer and let struggling families know that someone cares by making gift-giving one less worry this holiday season. You help ensure that every parent and every child served by YWCA has a gift to open at the holidays.
Complete an interest form below and receive a wish list no later than November 28. Gift drop off will take place mid-December.
Shop for an individual or family calling YWCA Emergency Shelter home for the holidays.
After you’ve been matched with a wish list, schedule your drop off of unwrapped gifts at YWCA Emergency Shelter.
Shop for an individual or family living in YWCA Supportive Housing.
After you’ve been matched with a wish list, schedule your drop off of wrapped & labeled gifts at Lantern Light: A YWCA Supported Residence.
FILL A HOME WITH HOPE
Fill A Home With Hope is another giving program for our Supportive Housing participants. YWCA currently has 97 apartment units in the community dedicated to providing safety, stability, and hope to once-homeless individuals and families, many of whom are survivors of violence.
We invite you to Fill A Home With Hope by providing household basics for the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and more.
This is a great opportunity for individuals, businesses, clubs and church groups!
