Each day,
YWCA Mohawk Valley provides a lifeline for individuals and families fleeing domestic and sexual violence. But this year, the demand for our emergency services reached unprecedented levels.
Quarantine and isolation kept those living with violence and abuse trapped at home. Our 24-hour emergency shelters were at capacity, hundreds reached out desperately to our free and confidential crisis hotlines, and even more sought advocacy and support.
We have been busier than we could have ever imagined, but because of you, we are not alone. Because of you, we have been able to continue working and saving lives through a global pandemic.
You are why we are able to fulfill our tireless mission to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.
As we continue to navigate through uncertain times, YWCA Mohawk Valley needs you.
You
are delivering financial independence to mothers who have experienced abuse and are fleeing to safety with their children.
You
are educating our youth who are vulnerable to violence, teaching them to recognize and prevent abuse in any form.
You
are giving children in the Mohawk Valley a safer home and a chance to achieve their dreams.
Your support is how we make a difference and save lives.
