Today we had the privilege to hear from three very powerful non-profits in the Middle Tennessee area. The YWCA, TOUCH Inc., and Thistle Farms. These representatives shared with us why their organizations exist today and some very disturbing statistics. We have to do our part and "get involved" to make a difference.
Here is a highlight of YWCA
Their mission is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.
They are most known for their Domestic Violence Program. But did you know that they offer a FREE GED program. Did you know they had a program for youth girls called Girls, Inc.? This program focuses on at-risk girls in five Metro Public Schools.
This is just a few things that the YWCA is doing in our Middle Tennessee area. We can get involved by volunteering our time, skills, and talent to their many programs. We can offer complimentary salon, spa, and/or wellness services to their staff and/or women in the program. We can also donate new products and toiletries from their on-line wish list.
For further information or to volunteer, please contact Abby Sasser at abby.sasser@ywcanashville.com.
Don't wait, join in today on stopping Domestic Violence and Eliminating Racism!
Thriving Together!
