Our Wish Lists
YWCA Central Alabama’s wish lists assist donors interested in providing new or gently used in-kind donations to help women, children, and families we serve.
Items do not have to be brand-specific and may be purchased through area stores that offer online ordering and delivery service.
Whenever donating in-kind items (even if ordered online), please include your name and address, so we can thank you.
