YWCA has released their 2023-24 Impact Report!

"In our last fiscal year, we made meaningful, tangible change in our community, uplifting and empowering women, girls, gender-diverse people, and families in so many different ways. I know that change wouldn’t be possible without all of you behind us and beside us every step of the way. Thank you for being part of YWCA Hamilton’s life-changing and life-saving work.

As you read through the attached Impact Report, you’ll see that there is much to be proud of and to celebrate! We opened our permanent space for Carole-Anne’s Place, we advanced our programming around reproductive care and justice, and we expanded our employment and entrepreneurship offerings, among many other achievements last year.

People are at the heart of everything we do."
