YAC delivers Care Bags for YWCA



YAC's Action project for National Volunteer Week 2018 was making 51 care packages for the YWCA moms at their shelter.  While delivering the packages, Ms. Mary Cornelsen, Director of Outreach Education, and Volunteer services shared with us that April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and in October, the YWCA raises awareness of domestic violence.  Ms. Cornelsen, mcornelsen@ywcaokc.org, 405-948-170 stated that the mothers will be very thankful because the items in the care packages are of great daily need.  Ms. Cornelson also stated that she would be happy to speak at UD chapel about the YWCA mission, vision, and volunteer opportunities  

After the meeting, Mrs. Clay brought to YAC's attention a Casady resource connected to the YWCA, Cyclone Susan Steward Russell
