Description

Annually, WCYR provides tangible supports to help women experiencing violence and poverty, the items they need to survive the winter months, as well as a bit extra to celebrate the holidays with their children. This year, as we continue on the road to recovery from COVID-19, it will be extremely difficult for women experiencing violence and facing barriers such as unemployment and poverty. WCYR wants to help women this holiday season not only financially but also to empower women. We all enjoy shopping for our family members and picking the perfect gift, especially for our children. We want the women we serve to experience that same joy. Therefore, WCYR is looking for your support to provide women with this same opportunity. 

We are looking for donations to add to women's winter warmth packages. Our program serves approximately 200 women a year in this program.
