🧡 A Message of Gratitude From Our Executive Director 🧡

As the Executive Director of the YWCA of Genesee County, I am continually reminded of just how fortunate we are to be part of such an incredible community.

Over the past few years, our organization has experienced tremendous growth. We have expanded our programs, strengthened our services, and created new opportunities to support individuals and families throughout our community. But none of this would be possible without the generosity, kindness, and unwavering support of the people and businesses who believe in our mission.

I want to take a moment to recognize a few of the amazing local businesses that have gone above and beyond in supporting the YWCA:

❤️ Dixie Land Images
❤️ Jagged Edges Salon
❤️ Bar Olo
❤️ Mrs. Green's CANNAry
❤️ Meraki Beauty
❤️ Eden Cafe
❤️ Council Rock Wealth

Your generosity, partnership, and willingness to step up when we need you mean more than you know.

What makes this community so special isn't just the donations or sponsorships. It's the people who show up, ask how they can help, share our mission, and genuinely care about making a difference in the lives of others.

We may be the ones doing the work every day, but YOU are the reason we can do it.

Every family we help, every survivor who finds safety, every child who receives support, and every new opportunity we create is made possible because our community believes in what we do.

We have big dreams for the future of the YWCA, and as we continue to grow and begin this exciting new chapter, I am filled with gratitude for the community standing beside us.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. You make this all possible. 🧡

We want to give a huge shout out to Aurora, Olivia, Bob, and everyone at The Greens, A Willow Ridge Senior Living Community in LeRoy NY. Because of their generosity, we have been able to provide several beds, lamps, bedding, and so much more.

There is a lot that goes into our Rapid Rehousing Program and it would not be successful without our wonderful community support.

Some of our clients come with just the clothes on their backs and the hope for change. So, when it comes to getting them into housing, they have no furniture, no household goods, or anything like that. Due to the ins and outs of our grant funding, there are some things we just can't purchase. That's when we have to look to our community for help and we are always so grateful that so many people show up for us.

So again, thank you to The Greens!
