support us wishlists
Domestic Crisis Center
For those fleeing violent situations, they all too often leave with nothing more than the clothes on their back. Because of generous community support, the YWCA is able to provide many of the things they need to help ease the uncomfortable situation of living in a place that is not one's own home.
- Women's clothing (all sizes); pajamas, robes
- Children's clothing (all sizes); new underwear, socks
- Personal care items (deodorant, hair products, etc.)
- Linens (sheet sets, pillows, towels, rugs, etc.)
- Kitchen items (silverware, cookware, etc.)
- Children's school supplies
- Household items (laundry baskets, first aid kit, etc.)
- Carseats, diapers, wipes
- Bus passes, phone cards, grocery gift cards
Child Sexual Abuse Treatment Services
Without the words to verbalize their experience, child victims of sexual abuse express how they feel and think in other ways - through art, games, with dolls. The YWCA is constantly challenged to find ongoing sources of items that quickly become depleted as more than 300 children annually turn to us to learn to deal with the trauma they have survived.
- Washable paints, markers, crayons
- Pipe cleaners, play dough, glue sticks
- Puppets, doll-house size figures of various races
- Board games
- Gift certificates to bookstores
