YWCA Greater Harrisburg

Thank you to PA Attorney General Michelle Henry and all the First Responders, elected officials and YWCA board members who attended our First Responders Breakfast this morning. This event was to thank all those first responders and other officials who work with us every day to help victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking. The event is held to raise awareness and connect the community with the importance of our work. It’s also held as part of the Week Without Violence, a global movement with YWCA’s across the country and around the world to end violence against women, girls and people of color. We’d also like to thank our anniversary sponsor, Renewal by Andersen of Central PA and our other Week Without Violence sponsors, Capital Blue Cross, Erie Insurance Group, UPMC, BRP Entertainment and Ralph E. Jones, Inc. Lucy M. Gnazzo, Natalie Wech, Lisa Stokes, Donna Schankweiler, Brianna Campbell, Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General

This Thursday, October 17, we encourage you to join us for Purple Thursday and show support for survivors of domestic violence and your commitment to ending abuse. Share your photos with us on Thursday by tagging us and using #PurpleforYWCAHbg. We can't wait to see you in your purple as we stand up for victims during Domestic Violence Awareness Month and in advance of the Week Without Violence (Oct. 21-25). #Every1KnowsSome1 #DVAM2024

We had a great group of volunteers today for the United Way of the Capital Region Day of Caring 2024. Volunteers came from McNees Wallace & Nurick LLC, TEKsystems, and Phoenix Contact USA to help us beautify our building inside and out! They painted, weeded, mulched and cleaned. We are so grateful for the work they did and how the community continues to support us every day. THANK YOU! 🫶🧡 #UWCRdoc2024
