Great job, swimmers!
"Lend a Hand" and make the holidays brighter for others
Looking for a way to give of yourself this season? Help the families at Mary Lou’s Place and Bridges (YWCA's domestic violence shelters) by donating holiday gifts.

Your donations stock the YWCA holiday store, where shelter residents "shop" for gifts for their loved ones. (They don't have to pay but they are empowered to choose what they want.)

This gives the residents, who often flee their homes with nothing, the opportunity to share in the joy of gift selection and giving.
 
Here's how it works:
  • Select a mitten from the Lend a Hand display in the lobby entrance, purchase the item and drop it off at the YWCA.
OR
  • Have the Flying Fish high school girls shop for you! Just drop off a check at the front desk in the lobby. The check should be made out to YWCA EVANSTON/NORTH SHORE with “Lend a Hand” in the memo line.The swimmers will take care of the shopping for you.
 
Please deliver all gifts and checks to the YWCA by Tuesday, December 13. Thank you!
