2020 Impact

Powered by YOU, YWCA Spokane continues to be a force for real and lasting change. 

In a year full of unexpected barriers and unprecedented need, your support enabled us to adapt and continue to serve our community when they needed us most. Danke schön! 

Your contributions helped YWCA Spokane provide a critical foundation of support for over 16,000 women, men, children, and families in 2020.

• 4,998 survivors found counseling, legal assistance, education, and community through our free and confidential services,
• 3,675 children impacted by family violence received trauma-informed services interrupting cycles of poverty and violence for years to come,
