  • Christmas Assistance / Christmas Help / Christmas Outreach

    Christmas Outreach Program

    Our Christmas Outreach Programming connects families in need of assistance with generous sponsors who are willing to provide Christmas gifts.

    YWCA Alliance also offers a Gifts From The Heart program, which is designed for those in need of “just a little extra” to fill out their Christmas tree.

    Information on both Christmas programs will be broadcasted via YWCA of Alliance on Facebook, @ywcaalliance on Instagram, and this website. Keep an eye out as Christmas approaches.

  • Senior Support with Meals on Wheels

    Sorry to stop your scrolling but this can’t wait:

    Far too many seniors feel lonely, hungry and forgotten. But a single knock from a Meals on Wheels volunteer can make a difference. When a senior opens that door, they receive companionship and nutrition that can truly save a life.

    But, right now, Meals on Wheels programs like ours at YWCA Alliance, can only afford to reach 1/3 of the seniors who need meals. We need your support to reach all the seniors who need our service.

    Will you donate today, so we can END senior hunger?

  • Youth Programming

    To optimize success for Alliance children and youth, by ensuring that all children, youth, and families have access to high-quality programs, activities, and learning opportunities during both school and non-school hours.

    We believe that these experiences are essential to the healthy development of youth, who then can become capable lifelong learners and contributing members of the Alliance community.
