Give hope during the holidays

She isn’t asking for toys this Christmas. All she wants is a place for her and her mother to call home.

In times of great hardship
Across the nation, people are losing their homes. Their retirements. Utilities and food prices have skyrocketed. Pillars of Wall Street have closed, been absorbed by other financial institutions or have been bailed out by the federal government. Our country’s economic outlook is bleak, indeed.

And times of great need
In times like this, it’s more important than ever that the YWCA of Charleston continue to provide critical social service programs in the Greater Kanawha Valley. Domestic violence increases in times when families face financial crises. More and more families are losing their homes. Single parents are looking for affordable quality childcare, while the cost of living continues to increase.

Are times of greatest hope.
In a time that lacks hope, the YWCA of Charleston is offering just that – hope for a better future – to those who have seen the worst of humanity.

Hope for independence.

Hope for justice.

Hope for safety and peace.

Hope for a better future for their children.


Hope for a better education.


Help us continue to be the beacon of light for so many in our community by renewing your commitment to the YWCA of Charleston. You can give the gift of hope this holiday season and help thousands in need in our community.
