Make your annual donation to protect YWCA's services The YWCA of Western New York needs your help! We appreciate you taking a few minutes of your time to make your annual donation to preserve the services offered by the YWCA to women, girls, and families of Western New York. Why we especially need your help this year With New York State and federal governments still in financial crises, much of the traditional support that funded critical community programs run by YWCA was dramatically reduced or eliminated. Cuts from the federal sequester are only just beginning to take effect. The economy has not yet made the turn toward recovery.
Despite the financial hardships that this economy brings we are very optimistic about the prospects for the future. Our YWCA has served Western New York since 1870, and we intend to be here and going strong in 2070.

This is a non-event, so no banquet chicken is involved, which we hope you'll appreciate!
The actions of our government have an enormous impact on the lives of women and girls across this country. Learn more about legislation, elected officals, federal agencies, and how you can take action to improve the lives of women and girls. See the links below:
