What a fun day in the park!  We had 167 color run participants dashing through color stations and making their mark to help end racism.  We want to thank all of our sponsors and the amazing community for helping us Embrace all Races!

Being an ally can mean many different things, but for this years Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples day on May 5th, being an ally meant walking in step with members of the Nez Perce Tribe.  Sponsored by ‘Úuyit Kímti- the Women’s Outreach Program on the Nez Perce reservation, the walk was flanked by red dresses and symbols of those lost to raise awareness regarding the many sisters and brothers that have gone missing or found murdered.  We stand with our brothers and sisters and vow that those lost will not be forgotten.

Spring has sprung and so have the teal ribbons all across the Valley in observance of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.  Thanks to our volunteers from the Dirty 40 Motor Society and staff for taking time out of their day to put up ribbons around main street and the court house.  Keep an eye out for ribbons in Lewis, Idaho and Clearwater county as well as Asotin and Garfield county, thanks to our partner agency at QBH and the Community Sexual Assault Program.  Together we can raise awareness, change attitudes and help prevent sexual assault!

We have completted our very first 21 Day Racial Equity and Social Justice Challenge.  If you were unable to join us, you can access all the content through our archive page.

Between an online Soup Soiree Auction and no in-person soup, 2021 looks a little different from past years.  To keep everyone safe, first responders have partnered with local restaurants to provide hot soup this year.  Our staff and volunteers will be delivering bowls and swag during the week of soup so keep your eye on our facebook and website updates

It has been an interesting year.  Check out our new newsletter to see how YWCA of Lewiston – Clarkston has dealt with the ups and downs of 2020.  We could not have done it without the support of our community.  Thank you!
