SiteCrafting Tours YWCA Facilities
Today, SiteCrafting teammates were given a tour of YWCA facilities in downtown Tacoma. We had the pleasure of having our tour led by Executive Director Miriam Barnett and Marketing Manager Kelly McDonald. Miriam provided some great education on history, purpose and even shared stories of current and past clients. This organization has an amazing history. YWCA of Pierce County was started in 1905 and in 1976 opened the state's first shelter for battered women. It was the largest shelter in western states at the time.
We toured this shelter and learned a lot about the building utilization, client services and the organization's plans for the future. The YWCA of Pierce County is in desperate need of additional shelter space and recently purchased a nearby building that we also toured. This new building provides a lot of potential for the organization as, in the least, it will provide more apartment style shelter space for women and children.
They are currently in the midst of a campaign to raise the funds to fully convert this new building into shelter space, and SiteCrafting is a proud partner in this campaign.
Thanks very much to Miriam and Kelly for this thoughtful and thorough tour of YWCA facilities. You both make it very easy to be inspired and excited to support YWCA initiatives.
Additional pictures of the tour are available at SiteCrafting's Flickr photostream.
