Three heavy hitters combine their fundraising efforts
Monterey County Weekly, the Monterey Peninsula Foundation and the Community Foundation for Monterey County, MCGives! This campaign spurs local businesses to donate to the non profit of their choice. Each nonprofit receives 100% of their donations, along with a match on the first $75,000 raised which impacts the YWCA-MC tremendously. Since 2009 more than $27 million has been raised and granted.

Testimonial
One of the clients recently supported by YWCA Monterey County is J, a single mother of four children. J and her family had been living in an abusive household for many years. She came across the YWCA in her search for resources for herself and her children. As J began her journey with the YWCA, she was enrolled in the Housing First Program and started working with her case manager to find a safe, permanent living situation. With the help of the Housing First Program, J’s family was able to receive rental assistance as well as new beds and other furniture items that completed their new home. After experiencing years of abuse, J and her children can finally live in a home free from violence.
