Together, We Can Close the Gap for Women and Families in St. Paul

Every day, YWCA St. Paul stands beside more than 54 women and their families—offering more than just shelter, food, and education. We provide hope, healing, and the tools to build a future filled with possibility. From access to our gym to partnerships that promote health equity, we help families strengthen both body and mind as they work toward lasting self-sufficiency.

But the gap still exists.

Too many women in our community continue to face barriers to housing, food security, and economic opportunity. That’s where you come in.

Since 1907, YWCA St. Paul has been a catalyst for change—creating innovative, community-driven programs that empower generations to rise, thrive, and lead. This Give to the Max Day, your support helps us continue that legacy.

Double Your Impact

Every dollar you give will be matched—up to $10,000—meaning your generosity goes twice as far to uplift women and families in our community.

Your gift helps us:

  • Strengthen partnerships to expand access to nutritious food
  • Enhance entrepreneurship and financial education with top academic collaborators
  • Grow health and wellness programs that support lifelong stability
  • Empower participants to create personalized success plans for lasting change

And we’ll stay connected. After you give, we’ll share stories of impact, invite you to community events, and keep you informed through our newsletter—because you’re part of this journey.

Your Support Builds a Stronger St. Paul

When you give, you’re not just donating—you’re investing in a future where every woman and family has the opportunity to thrive. Together, we can close the gap and create a healthier, more equitable St. Paul for all.
