Cards with Heart Reception
Join us for our Cards with Heart Reception as we honor local photographer Jeanne Farinelli who graciously donated her photos for use on our 2025 cards.
The YWCA’s Cards with Heart program supports our 30-day emergency shelter, providing safe housing for women and children who are homeless or escaping abuse. Residents receive intensive case management and counseling to help remove obstacles to finding a safe, permanent home and sustainable employment.
Cards will be available for sale at the reception and for sale online afterward. Tickets to the reception are available now for $25 per person and include one free drink ticket!
