You may not always get to see the result of your kindness, but never doubt that it leaves a mark. Lives are transformed not just by systems and shelters, but by people — people who choose to care, choose to give, choose to believe in someone else’s better future. In a world that sometimes feels overwhelming in its needs, it’s tempting to think, “What difference can I make?” But the truth is: You already are.
Nearly 400 turned for the 2025 annual Walk In HER HEELS event – Help, Empower, Encourage, Lift and Support.
None of us can know what it is like for the individuals seated next to us – none of us can know what they’re lives are like at home – what they face, what their challenges are or how they manage them. That is, until we get to know them or maybe even walk in their shoes. And so, we’ve adopted and adapted this phrase – Walk in Her HEELS. Help. Empower. Encourage. Lift. Support. It is our purpose – our mission – to get HER back on her feet.
Our goal is to see all our women re-enter society, employed, confident, capable. We Help. We Empower. We Encourage. We Lift. We Support. And, too often, even that is NOT enough.
We need your help to do our work. Our Walk in HER HEELS 2025 gathering is about supporting our residents and their children. The YWCA is like a woman in transition. One step forward, two steps back. We will keep walking in HER HEELS with you by our side.
Thank you for your generosity.
