Cultivating
Care
Seeds
of hope. Life begins with them. They provide comfort where there
is pain, love where there is loneliness and a light where there
is darkness. They are the bond that keeps families together.
From them, come the seeds of hope for tomorrow. Women are
the soul of our culture. But that culture is changing, and
with it so are the lives of thousands.
Today, more women than ever are single mothers, trying
to raise a family and work, without any support. They're responsible
for the rent or the mortgage and other household bills. For many,
it's no longer a question of being a stay-at-home mom, because they
have no home. Which makes it hard to be a source of comfort and
love; and even harder to be the bond and the light for their families.
But while their strength may be tested, there is a
place where they can find the hope they may have lost - a place
of refuge and restoration that can nurture their spirit, give them
support, and help them and their families grow strong once again.
Since 1903, the YWCA has served as that place of refuge,
responding to the needs of women and their families. Today, the
YW offers more programs than ever before to continue to plant seeds
of hope for a more caring community.
