Love The Shelter
Love the Shelter
YWCA Spokane is proud to announce a new and inspiring campaign called “Love The Shelter” that will ensure life-lasting change and support for survivors fleeing domestic violence.
View Flyer
Love the Shelter is an exciting opportunity to provide support to families staying in our confidential safe shelter over the next four years.
In 2019, we served 296 adults and their children in our shelter. This means that over a four-year time span, we will provide shelter, hot meals, and advocacy support to 1,184 people through our safe and confidential shelter. Your support can change the lives of so many in our community!
Donors can sponsor one or more of the eleven rooms we need to furnish and design to support women and children escaping domestic violence. To learn more about the rooms available to sponsor, please see the room descriptions below or our flyer here.
If you would like to adopt a room, please contact our Shelter Resource and Development Coordinator Melanie Wilson at melaniew@ywcaspokane.org or at 509-863-2882.
