Celebrating 110 years of service!

In September 1916, the YWCA of Van Wert County opened its doors to provide a safe residence to young single women who were seeking employment and an independent life beyond their family farms. At the time, founder George Marsh's vision was considered bold, and little did he and the first YW residents know that, 110 years later, these pioneers were shaping the organization's future mission. Today, the YWCA empowers youth and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking with the resources, support, and opportunities they need to build safe, independent futures similar to that of the first YWCA residents.

The commemorative logo symbolizes the our roots in the community and a commitment to growing programs for the future. The color palette incorporates elements of the traditional YWCA brand while introducing the colors that will be used within the new facility. Help us meet our goal this anniversary year to raise $50,000 toward our Capital Campaign for a new facility. Affordable donation levels available:

• 110 donors giving a one time donation of $110

• 110 donors gifting $110 / month for 12 months*

Our big dream…
