HOUSTON, Aug. 29, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- YWCA Houston has served its community for more than 110 years, providing critical services for 2,000 senior citizens every day. Many members of our community and our staff have lost everything. Half of the 21 emergency housing units YWCA provides are flooded.
As the city of Houston continues crisis management efforts, YWCA Houston is dedicated to continuing to do what we do best: meet the unique and changing needs of its community.
That is why YWCA Houston has established the YWCA Houston Hurricane Relief Fund. This fund will be used to help individuals and families begin to rebuild their lives through direct assistance with shelf stable food, furniture, housing and more. Donations will also support YWCA Houston Meals on Wheels programs, YWCA housing recipients, and staff who have been affected and or displaced by the storm. YWCA Houston is a trusted place to direct assistance for survivors of Hurricane Harvey in the days and months to come.
