YWCA Holding Spring Basket Drive for Needy Children

Spring is in the air and the YWCA Seattle, King and Snohomish counties is asking you to help provide 900 spring baskets for homeless and low-income children living in YWCA shelter and housing programs.

YWCA shelters are a safe haven to the families working hard to move forward in their lives and build a better future for their children. Spring Baskets are a wonderful treat.

The YWCA welcomes donations of homemade or store-bought baskets filled with fun items like small toys, games, socks, silly banz, coloring books or candy. The YWCA also accepts cash donations to purchase baskets.
