Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, the day news of emancipation reached enslaved people in Texas, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed.

As we mark this important day in our nation's history, we celebrate freedom, honor the resilience of generations past, and recognize the significance of Juneteenth for communities across the country.

Nearly half of all shelter residents served by YWCA Greater Cincinnati in 2025 were children.

When families flee abuse, children carry trauma too. That’s why our services are designed to support the whole family with safe housing, stability, healing, and hope.

Every child deserves to feel safe at home. Your gift helps provide the shelter, support, and stability families need to heal 🧡 https://ywcacincinnati.org/donate

A huge thank you to the volunteers from KeyBank who spent their annual "Neighbors Make a Difference Day" giving back at YWCA Greater Cincinnati!

Through this company-wide day of service, a team of KeyBank volunteers selected YWCA to support an organizing project at the Francie Garber Pepper House of Healing. Their hard work in our basement renovation area will help us prepare the space for future improvements and ensure we can continue providing a welcoming environment for survivors and their families.

Special thanks to Taylor Toerner for organizing this year's effort and to the entire KeyBank team for choosing to make a difference alongside YWCA. We are grateful for your time, energy, and commitment to our community.

A safe place changes everything.

In 2025, we opened Francie’s House of Healing, a trauma-informed domestic violence shelter designed to help survivors rebuild their lives with dignity, safety, and support.

The new shelter includes:
🏠 21 private apartment-style units
🐾 Pet-friendly accommodations
❤️ Double the previous shelter capacity

But a building alone isn’t enough. Survivors also need legal advocacy, clinical support, housing assistance, and pathways toward independence.

💝 Your gift helps make that possible. https://ywcacincinnati.org/donate

Our Chief Program Officer, Juwana Glover, traveled to Washington, D.C. this month in her role as Board Chair of the Ohio Domestic Violence Network (ODVN) to advocate for domestic violence and sexual assault survivors alongside ODVN, the Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence (OAESV), and coalition partners from across the country.

During the joint advocacy day hosted by the National Network to End Domestic Violence and the National Alliance to End Sexual Violence, advocates met with members of Congress and their staff to discuss federal funding priorities and the impact these investments have on survivors and families in Ohio and across the nation.

We are grateful to the offices of Rep. Shontel Brown, Rep. Troy Balderson Representative Marcy Kaptur, Joyce Beatty, Rep. Dave Joyce, Emilia Sykes, Rep. Mike Rulli, Mike Turner, Congressman Dave Taylor, and Senators Bernie Moreno and Jon Husted for taking the time to meet with advocates and hear directly about the needs of survivors in Ohio and across the country.

Together, we continue working toward a future where every survivor has access to safety, support, and the resources they need to thrive.

A round of applause for our 2026 Rising Stars! 👏 Over the last five months, these phenomenal women have taken actionable equity training to eliminate discrimination in their workplaces and communities. Now certified by YWCA Greater Cincinnati for non-profit board service, they join a powerful network of women ready to lead with purpose.

We were also proud to recognize two outstanding high school seniors, Camille Gordon and Tasheanna Miller, as recipients of the Mamie Earl Sells Scholarship, supporting their next steps in higher education and future leadership journeys.

Special thank you to Junior League of Cincinnati for hosting us.

Nominations for our next Rising Stars cohort will open this summer. Follow us here on social and on our website for more details coming soon!

When survivors of domestic violence flee abusive situations, they often leave with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Thanks to our incredible community, we receive wonderful donations of clothing and essentials for our clients and their children.

To make these items truly accessible, we need a helping hand to get organized. We are setting up improved storage and display systems in our shelter so survivors can easily browse these essentials.

Our Exact Needs: We have selected durable items on our Amazon Wishlist that will perfectly fit our space:

1. Clothing Racks
2. Shelves
3. Storage bins

Want to ship a donation directly to our shelter? Tap the link to purchase one of these exact items from our wishlist 👉 https://bit.ly/4dMCbrO

Every rack and bin helps us turn a stressful transition into an organized, welcoming fresh start. Thank you for standing with survivors in Greater Cincinnati!

Meet Camille Gordon, one of our 2026 Mamie Earl Sells Scholarship recipients.

Camille is a future healthcare leader who graduated from Villa Madonna Academy with a 4.3 weighted GPA while balancing rigorous academics with an extraordinary commitment to service.

Her passion for patient care was shaped by years spent helping care for her father during his battle with cancer. That experience inspired Camille to pursue a future in medicine and fueled her work as a volunteer and pharmacy technician at Saint Elizabeth Medical Center, as well as a dietary aid at Madonna Manor, where she focused on helping patients feel seen, comfortable, and empowered.

Camille has also become a powerful voice for others through her leadership at the Kentucky Youth and United Nations Assemblies, where she advocated for healthcare access and refugee rights while helping pass more than 20 mock legislative proposals.

This fall, Camille will attend Case Western Reserve University to study Neuroscience on a pre-med track as she works toward her dream of becoming a medical doctor.

Congratulations, Camille!
