Current Needs

Donate your truck to the YWCA

YWCA Clark County is in need of a good, reliable truck.  It would be fantastic if it had a standard bed and automatic transmission; however, we would be glad to look at any offers.  The YWCA Clark County is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. If you are looking for a great way to help your community and get a tax deduction in the process, please call 360 906 9101 and ask for Nancy Prager, Office Manager.

New In-kind donations are always needed!

If you wish to donate to the Independent Living Skills, Sexual Assault, WORTH, or Y’s Care Programs, you can take your donation to our front desk (3609 Main Street, Vancouver, WA 98663), open Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 5:30 pm. Our greatest need is for shelter items, and we are now requesting that donations intended for the SafeChoice Shelter be arranged by calling 360-695-2655 x250. Please let us know if you want your donation to go to a specific program. Your donation is tax-deductible and we are happy to provide you with a receipt if you wish.
