Winter 2022 Newsletter
YWCA NCW is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. Our local vision is to empower women, men and children to break the cycle of economic insecurity and homelessness and achieve self-sufficiency through assistance, support, and education.
We Can't Wait: Equity and Justice Now!
Our country was founded on the idea of building a government of the people, by the people, for the people. More than two hundred years later, this vision has yet to be achieved.
