Big delivery. Big impact. And yes, it even arrived with a red bow. 🧡

Our new HVAC chiller has officially arrived at YWCA Oklahoma City, marking an important step toward restoring reliable cooling for the survivors and families we serve.
We are incredibly grateful to Johnson Controls for delivering this critical equipment and for helping move us closer to a safer, more comfortable environment for everyone who relies on our services.

The bow may have made us smile, but what this delivery represents means so much more: progress, relief and one more step forward for our community.

Thank you, Johnson Controls, for being part of that progress.

We are incredibly grateful to Pastor Cody Phillips and The Bridge Bethany Campus for stepping up in such a meaningful way this week.

Bridge Church is providing and coordinating lunches and dinners for our survivors throughout the week, helping make sure one more need is taken care of during a time when support and consistency matter so much.

Acts of kindness like this remind us what community truly looks like. Thank you to Pastor Cody Phillips and everyone at Bridge Church for showing up for YWCA Oklahoma City and the survivors we serve.

A huge thank you to this amazing Girl Scout troop for using their time and creativity to give back! 🧡

The troop recently made snuffle mats to support YWCA Oklahoma City, creating enrichment items that can provide comfort, stimulation and a little extra fun for pets in our care.

We love seeing young people get involved in their community and find meaningful ways to make a difference. Thank you for thinking of YWCA Oklahoma City and for putting so much care into this project!

Today, on National Nonprofit Day, we’re celebrating the people, partners, volunteers and supporters who make the work of YWCA Oklahoma City possible.

Every day, nonprofits across our community step in to meet needs, create opportunities and advocate for lasting change. At YWCA Oklahoma City, that means continuing our mission to eliminate racism, empower women and promote peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

We’re grateful for everyone who stands alongside us and believes in the power of stronger, safer communities. Thank you for being part of our mission.

A little friendly competition, a lot of laughs and plenty of community spirit!

YWCA Oklahoma City recently came together for our United Way of Central Oklahoma campaign event, complete with bingo, raffle baskets and some very enthusiastic winners.

We were also glad to welcome Catie Huskey, Director of Campaign Operations with United Way of Central Oklahoma, as we celebrated the impact we can make when our community comes together to support one another.

Thank you to everyone who participated, donated and helped make the event such a fun way to support an important cause!
