Thank You to DSHS for Your Generous Gift!

Thank you to DSHS for your grant to benefit YWCA Spokane’s Intimate Partner Domestic Violence Survivor Services!

Because of their amazing support, YWCA Spokane’s Intimate Partner Domestic Violence Survivor Services will have the opportunity to fund Counseling Advocates to serve both at our offices, and at the DSHS Community Services Office. Department of Social & Health Services’ (DSHS) gift makes a major impact in the lives of those we serve, especially to those battling trauma in need of counseling support. Through funding our advocates in our Counseling Services, our reach will continue to grow, and we will be able to serve women and families in need of support!

LEARN MORE ABOUT our advocacy services


We deeply appreciate DSHS for their commitment to empowering women. Thank you for helping women and families escaping intimate partner domestic violence, unemployment, and homelessness reach their highest potential! Below is a quote from Angelic, a client who benefits from our Advocacy services. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank DSHS for helping women like Angelic with their gift.

“I’ve used almost every one of the services here and it’s changed the trajectory of my life. I was thinking this morning, if it wasn’t for YWCA Spokane I can honestly say I don’t even know if I’d be alive. I was ready to give up. This place has been a huge part of changing the course of my life. It’s the people here. It’s been amazing.”- YWCA Spokane Client
