YWCA La Crosse
YWCA La Crosse is a non-profit organization that works to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all. We offer a centralized location to provide support, connection with services, and intake through the Resource Advocates at the front desk.
As a partner in the REACH Center, we help people:
- Connect with resources and partnering agencies
- Fill out and submit applications
- Get access to administrative services (phone, computer, printer, etc.)
- Receive hygiene products and food pantry items
Our services provide the tools to empower clients in self-sufficiency towards meeting their own needs. By giving them access to a computer, phone, and printer, as well as one-on-one support in filling out applications and talking through their situation, clients are now able to access necessary information and materials to obtain their goals.
By assisting in the completion of transferring information between partnering and outside agencies, we can submit forms on the client’s behalf to help in completion of the process.
We also track data that helps us make decisions about what programs our community needs.
