Wrap a family in warmth this year 💜

WCYR’s Winter Warmth Program supports women and children navigating financial hardship, difficult circumstances or rebuilding after abuse.

Last year, we helped 175 women and children in our community with warm clothing, grocery gift cards and a small gift to celebrate the holidays.

This year, you can make a difference.
