Be a part of a NEW legacy with a gift toward the Capital Campaign Fund!

Now is the time for another BIG and BOLD idea - a new facility that will enable us to expand Youth Development and Survivor Services Programs. Join us in taking The Marsh Family legacy in a beautiful new direction! Donation and pledge information may be found below.

Through the philanthropic efforts of George and Hilinda Marsh, the YWCA of Van Wert County was chartered in 1914 and opened its doors in 1916. It was a BIG, BOLD, and UNCONVENTIONAL idea for its time …to provide safe housing for young women who were pursuing employment and wanted to live independently of their family farms.

Although the programs and services have evolved and changed in the past 108 years, one thing is certain. Just like the Marsh Family, we are committed to Van Wert County and helping those who who need us in their journey to safety and independence.

With a donation to the YWCA Capital Campaign, you ensure the expansion of programs that will serve more survivors and youth in our community in a new facility!
