Dear Members,
As you know, our charitable organization is centred around community programs for women, youth and families– many of them enduring major life transitions and in need of support getting back on their feet again. They are among those who are most vulnerable during this time of uncertainty and our program staff are working to ensure they are connected with the resources they need right now.
What you may not know is YWCA Muskoka operates entirely on individual program grants and donations from individuals and businesses. Because of the current health crisis, many of our programs have been postponed until further notice and we have had to delay some of our major fundraising initiatives.
So I am writing to you, our members, to ask for your support to ensure we can keep our operations up and running during this critical time.
Please consider making a donation and becoming a monthly donor – even a donation of $10 per month would have a positive impact at this time.

As a women-serving organization, we are acutely aware of the unique impacts COVID-19 will have on women around the globe, here in Canada and in our own Muskoka community. The Canadian Women’s Foundation summarized the gendered impacts of Covid-19 in this article. Our work to support women continues to be vital, especially now.
Wishing you and your family safety and peace of mind during this time. Our YWCA Muskoka team is grateful for your support.
Sincerely,
Hannah Lin
Executive Director
YWCA Muskoka
p.s. we will keep our advocacy webpage updated with information from YWCA Canada about how our members can stay informed and get involved in advocacy efforts at a national, provincial and community level.
