Donating to YWCA Rock County
The YWCA Rock County works every day to help the most vulnerable among us. Through community education, access to services, safe shelter, and advocacy, the YWCA is there to help pick up the pieces… and to help prevent them from falling in the first place. Donations can be made monetarily, or by purchasing items off our wish lists.
