Did you know that girls entering middle school experience a 50% decline in self-esteem, impacting their decisions about what they can achieve? The Young Women’s Resource Center is a non-profit organization that supports, educates and advocates for girls and young women* ages 10-24. Through small groups and individual support, the YWRC provides programming for all young women, no matter what they may be going through.

Girls and young women are better able to reach their goals when their basic needs are met, they feel safe, and have access to support. To remove common barriers, the YWRC provides free transportation (within 7 miles), childcare, healthy meals, baby supplies, personal care items, clothing, and access to their on-site food pantry. We will be collecting the following items at our luncheon:

 
  • Full-size deodorant

  • Full-size body wash

  • Full-size shampoo

  • Full-size conditioner

  • Full-size toothpaste

  • Lip balm/Chapstick

  • Full-size body lotion

  • Baby and toddler diapers

  • Toddler Pull-Ups

  • Unscented baby wipes

  • Menstrual pads with wings

  • Monetary donations
