Use your crafting prowess to create comfort items for our residents at the YWCA Family Center and Women's Residency. Some ideas include:

• Blankets (Note that our beds are size Twin XL)

• Hats & Scarves

• Friendship Bracelets

• Stuffed Animals or Soft Toys

• Decorative Pillow Cases

• Decorated Tote Bags

• Coloring Books

When creating handmade gifts, please be sure to use new, clean materials, and avoid anything with loose parts, choking hazards, or strong scents. While there’s no expectation to provide enough items for every resident, you might find it helpful to know that we typically serve around 175 to 200 men, women, and children at the Family Center, as well as 91 women in our Women's Residency program.

Hygiene kits, beauty bags, kids activity packs, and more! There are a ton of different ways to assemble care packages for the women and families we serve. Need help figuring out what to assemble? Contact Alexa Molitor for an updated list of our current needs.
