Thank you for making the holidays brighter for central Ohio families!

The YWCA Family Center provides emergency shelter and critical services to stabilize homeless families in central Ohio. Last year, the center served 650 families with healthy meals, warm beds, basic need items, and transportation assistance. Upon arrival, each family is assigned an advocate who assists with housing, job counseling, and services for children. Childcare is provided for young children and school-age kids are transported to their school, while parents seek jobs and housing.

Thanks to you, $5,295 was raised for the YWCA Family Center to provide personal care items and warm winter coats to parents and children experiencing homelessness.
