We remain steadfast in our commitment to advocate for equity and uphold the urgency of our mission to promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. We witnessed this spirit in action when "terrific towels" were waved in solidarity at our Empowering Women Luncheon this past September.

Thank you for being an integral part of our journey, where hope is the most sought after gift this holiday season. Your voice is powerful as we continue to advocate for social justice, uplift families, and strengthen our communities. As we move into the new year, we are excited to carry forward the same level of passion and dedication, working together to create a brighter future for all.

We cannot do it alone, and I invite you to get involved—donate your time, treasure, and talent to help those in the City of Rochester and Monroe County. Dive into our Fall newsletter and discover the world of YWCA of Rochester and Monroe County.
