Help a family experiencing homelessness with groceries for the weekend
YWCA Delaware plays a critical role in ending homelessness in our state. Our Home-Life Management Center in Wilmington, DE offers 28 emergency shelter units for families and is running at full capacity.
Families come to us with diverse backgrounds, often with limited possessions or financial resources. Among our current residents is a mother seeking safety after fleeing gang violence —her home was burglarized and set on fire when her son chose a new path. We also have a single mother with an infant who had recently relocated to Delaware, as well as a two-parent household, both of whom are enrolled in a job training program, with two children and a third on the way.
Families placed with YWCA Delaware live in a dorm-style unit with access to a microwave and toaster oven. They receive hot meals three times a day during the week, but our commercial kitchen is unavailable on the weekends.
Your gift of $25 will help provide grocery gift cards for families in our emergency shelter to purchase prepared food over the weekend. Grocery gift cards may also be donated directly by mail to YWCA Delaware, Development Department, 100 W. 10th Street, Suite 515, Wilmington, DE 19801.
By donating and sharing this campaign, you become a catalyst for change. Every gift, no matter the size, creates ripples of transformation. Thank you for doing more to help women, youth and families across Delaware!

Racial Healing Conversations

Racial healing creates space for open conversations about the harms of systemic and individual racism. It builds trust, strengthens communities, and lays the foundation for transforming systems and structures to affirm the value of all people.
Healing from the effects of racism requires ongoing dialogue and effort, which is why we're continuing monthly virtual racial healing conversations every 2nd Monday, beginning on February 10, from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. We hope you will join us on this journey toward healing and equity.

Black History Month Begins
Join YWCA Delaware on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin this Black History Month as we celebrate the profound contributions of African Americans throughout U.S. history as well as the changemakers shaping our world today. Join us in celebrating, uplifting, and empowering Black voices - past, present, and future.
Facts about Black History Month
In 1926, the first week-long celebration dedicated to uplifting the contribution of African American in the U.S. history was called "Negro History Week." Initially, it was held during the second week of February, chosen because the week included the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass.
Make it stand out
Dr. Carter G. Woodson, known as the Father of Black History, initiated the first celebration of Negro History Week on February 7, 1926; this week-long celebration led to Black History Month as we know it: a month-long opportunity to extend and deepen the study, celebration, and history of Black people in America.
