Dear Peggy,


As we gear up for Do More 24 Delaware, Delaware's largest day of giving, I wanted to take a moment to share with you the incredible impact your support can have on the lives of women and families in our community through YWCA Delaware.


On March 7th, starting from 6 p.m. until March 8th, 6 p.m., we're asking our supporters to participate in Delaware's statewide giving campaign to support our essential programs and services, including our supportive housing, 24/7 crisis helpline, and educational initiatives promoting racial justice, workforce development, youth empowerment, and economic stability.


Consider the impact your donation can make:


  • For a mother fleeing domestic violence while caring for her child, your support helps them obtain the resources needed to reclaim their lives and begin healing.


  • For a shy yet talented artist, your contribution allows them to flourish in our Esteem workshop, providing a nurturing environment where they can showcase their creativity with confidence and determine their goals.


  • For first-time homebuyers facing challenges in obtaining fund assistance, your generosity enables them to access vital financial counseling and secure much-needed down payment assistance, paving the way for homeownership and the opportunity to create generational wealth.


Your support is not just a donation; it's an investment in the future of Delaware. Together, we can create a safer, more sustainable community for generations to come.


Please join us in making a difference on March 7th during Do More 24 Delaware. Your support truly matters, and we are deeply grateful for your generosity.


Thank you in advance for your support!

Give to YWCA Delaware During DoMore24

Warm regards,


Melissa Gonville
