YWCA St. Joseph

2nd Annual Bliss Summer Bash!

Don't we all enjoy a nice, new, fluffy pillow?

Did you know that we currently have 41 women and children living in the YWCA Shelter who need and deserve a good nights sleep?

If you are interested in gifting a pillow or pillows to the shelter, please contact us at (816) 232-4481 or [email protected]. Donations can also be dropped off at 304 N. 8th St, Monday-Friday, between 8-5pm.

Thank you for helping provide sweet dreams to our residents.😴🐑

League of St. Joseph just dropped off 180 hope totes! Hope totes hold basic hygiene items, sheets, a pillow, and a blanket; all of which a survivor needs when entering shelter. The best part is that when they move out, they can take it with them. Thank you Junior League!

Join us in celebrating by diving deep into our YWCA legacy of racial justice and activism.

In our republication of the YWCA Magazine from June 1968, we reflect on our rich history of activism.

This special edition, featuring articles by icons like Helen Claytor and Dr. Dorothy Height, showcases our deep involvement in the civil rights movement. As we commemorate Juneteenth, we remember the struggles and triumphs documented in this historic issue. Helen Claytor, our first Black president, and civil rights leader Dr. Dorothy Height inspire us to continue their legacy. 👉 Visit bit.ly/ywcamagazine1968 to read this powerful issue.

Celebrate freedom with YWCA on ! Tomorrow join YWCAs throughout the country as we come together to honor and celebrate Juneteenth. This day marks a pivotal moment in our history and is a time for reflection, education, and celebration. ➡️ Learn more here: bit.ly/401yp5e

Do you have too many plastic cups in your kitchen cabinets?

Can you relate to the many people who are tired of having to hand wash them, dry them, and then try to stack them inside one another to make them fit in those cabinets?

Let the YWCA Shelter fix that for you! We will accept all new and gently used donations of plastic cups Monday-Friday between the hours of 8am-5pm.
