The YWCA of Rochester and Monroe County is a powerful resource for women and girls in our community. Today, our programs focus on providing support for pregnant and parenting teens and their babies, and on offering a continuum of housing for women in need, including those of all ages and family situations.

Wish List:
Because of limited space, we we cannot receive USED items, except for used cell phones; and we do not have the resources to pick up donations. 
Before dropping off New items, Please email or call April Allen, 368-2204. Donations may be dropped off at the YWCA Monday through Friday from 9 am to 3 pm.  For a map, click here.  Arrangements will be made to meet you in the parking lot to protect you and our participants' health and safety.
