As the holiday season approaches, many of us are thinking about ways to give back to our community and make a positive impact on the lives of others. At the YWCA Black Hawk County, we are dedicated to empowering women, eliminating racism, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. 

This holiday season, we invite you to join us in giving joy to those who need it most. Whether you're an individual, a family, or a business, there are many ways you can support our initiatives and make a difference in the lives of women, children, and families in our community.

Participate in Fundraising Events 

The YWCA hosts several fundraising events throughout the year. Thinking about next year, consider participating in or even organizing a fundraising event. Whether it's our Fall Fundraiser, Stand Against Racism, or pancake breakfasts, these events not only raise funds but also spread awareness about the YWCA's mission.
