Celebrating our 100th anniversarythis year afforded us anopportunity to look back at the YWCA’s legacy in Pierce County. Over those 100 years,our programs and services have shifted with changing times, but one thing has remainedconstant: we aim to listen to and respond to our community’s needs.Like our programs, the language used to express our goals hasshifted as times changed, but our work has consistently upheldour vision of peace, justice, freedom, and dignity forall people.The poster slogan used in the 1927 capital campaign for ourexisting building boasted: “The Girls Need It! The Girls DeserveIt!” Creating a physical space to afford the realization of peace,justice, freedom, and dignity through gender equity was the goalin 1927.Over our history, the underlying tenets of our vision inspired programsaround education, employment, and safe shelter. Thosetenets inspired countless community collaborations. They inspiredthe inception of offshoot agencies that met other communityneeds. That rich history unfolded in our building raised by the1927 capital campaign.Our current programs, aiming to eliminate racism, empowerwomen, and end domestic violence, continue the work begun byour predecessors. These programs fall into three main categories: Community Education,Legal Services, and our Women’s Support Shelter and Services.Intersections among these programs abound. The common thread is our commitment toempowering clients, to fostering equality, to providing safety, and to inspiring necessarychange.100 years after our inception, and 80 years after that original capital campaign, our goalof empowering women perseveres. Now, we focus on empowerment and equality forall through our work with racial justice.Our commitment to responding to community needs and serving as a key collaboratorwithin the county continues. Our commitment to exacting change within our communityendures. To modify our forerunners’ slogan: “The Community Needs It! The CommunityDeserves It!”

ywca pierce county 2006–2007 annual report 1looking backThe work of the YWCA, in support of the Pierce County community, has a rich tradition. We celebratedboth our 100th year anniversary and that tradition this year. At one anniversary event, Senator PattyMurray addressed our work, our accomplishments, and the need for our continued service. Pleasejoin me for a brief walk down memory lane.The YWCA received its charter in 1906 and our early work centered on education and shelter.We moved into our current building in 1928. Dormitory rooms offered safe and affordable housing forwomen. In 1976, those rooms became the fi rst domestic violence shelter in the state of Washington,known as the Women’s Support Shelter.Although the Shelter may be the best known of our services, we have historically spearheaded a variety of importantmovements. The state’s Domestic Violence Hotline started at the YWCA before it moved to Olympia. In 1984, wecollaborated with Tacoma Public Schools to provide a specialized school for homeless children.As a legacy to our early goals of educating and providing shelter, last year we served nearly 7,500 women and childrenthrough intervention, prevention, and empowerment programs. We educate the public through domestic violenceawareness and racial justice trainings, we provide comprehensive legal services to domestic violence victims, and wecontinue to offer a safe haven through our Shelter.Your support—through donations of time, talent, or fi nancial gifts—is what makes our work possible.I want to thank you deeply for your support and commit to you our continued best efforts in service to our community.Chris George BOARD PRESIDENTlooking aheadThe YWCA is a source of inspiration for me. To wake up in the morning and know you work for anagency that changes lives, provides hope, and increases the self-esteem of women and children isnothing short of marvelous.We do so much for our clients to provide stellar services, but there is always more to do. I ammotivated not only by what we do well, but by what I know we can do better. Our current shelterfacility is a prime example of an opportunity to do better.In 1927, a group of women, inspired by a dream, raised money in just two weeks to build the YWCAat 405 Broadway. The rooms were small, intended to simply provide safety for traveling single women. In 1927, safetymattered and it still matters today. The same rooms meant to house a single woman for one night now house womenfl eeing domestic violence, often with children in tow, for up to 90 days—same rooms, more inhabitants, longer stays.While we provide signifi cant, vital services, it is my hope that we will move forward and create a new and innovativeshelter for the women we serve. Your support has allowed us to do so much for women and children in our community.Together we can dream of what the future holds for the YWCA and the women we serve.I thank you for your help in meeting our mission and welcome your comments, suggestions, and inspirations.Miriam Barnett EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

We equip children in the Shelter withtools to prevent them from becoming involved in violentrelationships.
