Your gift changes lives!

You can give a night of safety and hope.

Your gift of $75 provides a night of safety and hope to a woman or child arriving at the doors of YWCA Emergency Shelter.

One night of shelter becomes two tonight only!

Donations made tonight will be matched up to $10,000 thanks to the generosity of Dakota Medical Foundation!

All proceeds support women and children escaping violence and poverty at YWCA Cass Clay. Help us transform lives when you give in honor of one of our incredible nominees or another inspirational woman.
