For the past 32 years, the YWCA Women’s Crisis Center has successfully been providing shelter, advocacy, and supportive services for women and children fleeing violent homes. The YWCA cannot solve the problem of domestic violence alone. We need the help of community partners. This is an excellent opportunity to have fun and support a worthwhile cause.
