You may be considering the results you want to achieve with your planned gift to YWCA Glendale and Pasadena.

You might want to give back to an organization that has profoundly impacted your life. A planned gift to YWCA Glendale and Pasadena will make a far greater impact than you ever imagined.

Annual Holiday Giving Program

We provide resources and support to survivors of domestic violence and their children so they can achieve self-sufficiency and live free from violence. Every year our donors make holiday wishes come true for families affected by domestic violence through our Hope For The Holiday program. Families provide a list of their most needed items, and donors are matched with them and their wish lists.

Hope Closet: Update On Used Donations

The Hope Closet has been a source of essential daily use items and connection between participants, case managers, and community members interested in offering direct and tangible support to survivors. Although the need for direct goods and essential items is always vital for participants fleeing violence; the sorting, storage, and upkeep of used clothing and home goods has become greater than our current bandwidth.

As our team remains entirely dedicated to the direct services and programs to support survivors and their children, we will unfortunately no longer be accepting used clothing and home good items. We invite all those interested in giving back to survivors to continue supporting through opportunities including continued need for New Personal Care Kits, Holiday Giving Program, Food Pantry, and Annual Giving.
