Congratulations to our colleagues at YWCA Cambridge, who have been working toward this outcome for years! This new shelter will be crucial for helping women and children to leave abusive situations and get back on their feet.

Every year Peterborough Musicfest donates one of their "best seats in the house" to a local non-profit, and this year they've chosen the YWCA! Many clients leave home with no belongings, so a comfy spot like this will go a long way toward finding peace. Thanks for this generous gift!

We're so grateful to Dreams & Wishes Children's Charity for hosting a trip to Ripley's Aquarium for 30 children and 14 mothers from our Centennial Crescent Housing Community! Thank you for giving these families, who have seen so much hardship, a day of joy and wonder. 🐟🪼🐬
