Since its earliest inception, the YWCA Central Maine has been an organization built on community funding. It has always been the nickels and dimes from those who value our work that has made our programming possible. When you donate to the YWCA, your contribution is bigger than programming or operational support, it is an investment in creating a more just and equitable Lewiston-Auburn community- one in which women, girls, and people of color are safe, valued, and thriving. The YWCA believes that all of our services should be fully accessible and your donation benefits our most impactful programs, including:
- Childcare, summer camp, and aquatics scholarships.
- Free and low-cost therapeutic and culturally responsive swim programs.
- Social justice, civic engagement, and advocacy programming and events.
- Nutritious food programming for children in our care, as well as community food distribution programs for food insecure families.
- Free and reduced summer swim time for youth through collaborations with other local service providers.
Eliminating racism and empowering women is no small undertaking. Fortunately, it is a mission that the YWCA shares with the whole community in order to make our community whole! Your support, no matter how large or small, strengthens our work for gender and racial justice and helps provide equal access to health, wellness, and childcare resources in Lewiston-Auburn. The YWCA thanks you for your generosity!
