Celebrating The Power of Transformation
A Letter From Regina Malveaux, CEO of YWCA Spokane
Dear Valued Friend of YWCA Spokane,
As we enter into the summer season we reflect on the year so far and celebrate the power of transformation at work within our domestic violence and homelessness programs.
Friends like you ensure YWCA’s services remain available when they are needed most. Imagine a time when you might need protection to escape a violent situation; or a friend experiencing domestic violence needs immediate shelter for herself and her children; or a co-worker doesn’t know where to go to ensure her family can stay in their own home after the devastating impact of a violent partner’s financial manipulation and control.
YWCA Spokane is here — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — to support each client’s unique experiences and unique needs. Driven by core values based in creating peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all, our team at YWCA Spokane is dedicated to the safety, stability, and healing of each woman, child, and family we serve.
We hope you take a moment to review recent activities reflected in the below eNews update.
With deep gratitude, we give thanks for the great work you and our amazing staff at YWCA Spokane have accomplished.
With Gratitude,
YWCA Spokane Hosts Danger Assessment Training
Content Advisory: This blog post discusses domestic violence homicide, including statistics and risk factors in details. If you find yourself distressed or triggered, you may wish to skip this post. Our 24hr helpline is also always available if you have questions or need to talk: 509-326-CALL (2255).
YWCA Spokane had the honor of hosting a training led by Dr. Jacqueline Campbell, a lead researcher in domestic violence and the creator of several screening tools used when safety planning with survivors, such as the Danger Assessment tool. The numbers tell us that lethality screenings are an unfortunate necessity.

In Memory of Dear YWCA Friend, Alice Niemeier
Recently, a cherished friend to YWCA Spokane, Alice Niemeier, passed away. Alice accepted YWCA’s Women of Achievement Lifetime Achievement Award on behalf of the Ambassadors, a long-time group of supporters, at our 31st awards luncheon in 2013. Alice was committed to serving women and children through YWCA Spokane, spreading joy through her handmade hats and jewelry, and her deep faith.
Seeking Deodorant & Toothcare Supplies
As a part of our Sunday Impact gift-in-kind donation campaign, Our Sister’s Closet (YWCA’s free, donation-based, clothing boutique for women) is seeking deodorant and toothcare supplies to help support our client’s hopes to maintain healthy hygiene practices during what can be a very traumatic time in their lives and in their children’s lives. Thank you so much for your support!

Learn how you can give and get the most from your assets by talking with YWCA Spokane’s Chief Philanthropy Officer, Dana Morris Lee.
