More than 40 women in Oklahoma have been killed this year as a result of domestic violence. Now you can help battered women and children in central Oklahoma through the YWCA’s annual membership drive.
Today the YWCA Oklahoma City is kicking-off its annual membership drive. Become a supporter from now through Aug. 28. The YWCA membership movement is more than 135 years old and in more than 75 countries on nearly every continent.
“Unlike a gym or club membership, we don’t have a facility that you can use,” said Janet L. Peery, CEO of the YWCA. “But your membership makes sure that our facility – the emergency shelter – will be here for women and children in their darkest hour.” As the only shelter for battered women and children in Oklahoma County, the YWCA relies on member support to help victims of violence heal, grow and become survivors. Members receive invitations to member-only YWCA events, information on issues important to women, children and families in our community as well as a special member-only email newsletter with inspiring stories, important information and useful resources.
