Back-to-School season is even more special when we celebrate with family.

On Tuesday, August 11, our Grandparent Support Network (GSN) hosted a Back-to-School Drive for the grandparents and families we are honored to serve and consider part of our YWCA LCF family. From school supplies to community connection, the day was all about helping our families feel supported and prepared for the school year ahead.

GSN is growing, and we’d love for you to be part of it! We are seeking community members who are caregivers, as well as volunteers who want to support and uplift grandparents raising grandchildren and other relative caregivers throughout the Lower Cape Fear region.

Interested in getting involved? Contact Julie Boteler Potter, H.E.R. Path Director, at [email protected] to learn more.

Progress is underway for future waves!

We’re excited to share a look at the renovation work happening throughout the facility as we create a safer, more welcoming and accessible Aquatics Center for our community.

This $2.3 million renovation includes significant improvements to the pool, deck, locker rooms and other areas of the facility - all designed to strengthen the Aquatics Center for generations to come.

Bright Futures Summer Camp is shining bright this summer!

Recently, our Bright Futures Childcare Director, Olivia Hester, joined Brandon Bigg B Hickman on Coast 97.3 - WMNX Wilmington to share how Bright Futures Childcare Center is helping children learn, grow, and thrive through childcare, afterschool programming, and unforgettable summer camp experiences.

From STEM activities and robotics to arts and crafts, sensory play, outdoor adventures, pool days, field trips, and new friendships, our programs are designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and create lasting memories for children of all ages.

Whether your child is exploring through our Preschool Summer Camp (ages 6 weeks – 5 years) or embarking on exciting adventures in our Summer Camp (ages 5+), there is something for every young learner to discover this summer.

Motherhood is more than one role and one story. It is love, sacrifice, guidance, resilience, and the people who continue showing up for the next generation every single day.

This Mother’s Day, we celebrate the moms, grandmothers, caregivers, mentors, and community members who help children feel supported, seen, and cared for.

At YWCA - Lower Cape Fear, we are proud to walk alongside families through programs that create opportunity, connection, and support at every stage of life. From Bright Futures Childcare Center and the Early Parenthood Program to H.E.R. Path, Grandparent Support Network, and the YWCA Aquatics Center, our work is centered on strengthening families and building community.

Swipe to see a special moment from our Grandparent Support Network outreach event, a reminder that raising children truly takes a village.

Happy Mother’s Day from YWCA - Lower Cape Fear ✨
