gather your
girlfriends!
It’s that
time of year
again!
We rely heavily on the
talents of our interns!
Rhanda Pretzer just
finished up her Spring
Social Work internship
with the YWCA. She
learned about case
management and direct
service application to
homeless women and
children. Thank you Minot

partnership. We will greatly
miss her! Thank you

Thanks to the generosity of our volunteer, Audra
Awai, we now have a 7-week yoga class for the
residents of our shelter and permanent
apartments!
!
We need your help! To all of our yoga enthusiasts
out there: we need yoga mats! Used mats are
completely fine and greatly appreciated.
!
!
If you have any yoga mats to spare, please stop
by the shelter between 9am-5pm during the
week. It is also possible to leave them inbetween the two doors during unstaffed hours.
The ladies will sure appreciate it!
Namaste!

Did you know the YWCA Minot Emergency Shelter is supporting more
women and children than ever before? By helping recruit a member today, you
can ensure this trend continues for years to come. YWCA memberships provide
operating funds that allow us to provide necessary services to give our residents a
'Hand Up' in life. Our success stories keep us motivated!
One of our Emergency Shelter residents, in her late 50’s, just moved to her
own apartment and started working after being out of work for 10 years! She is
paying her own rent and accomplished a great deal during her stay at the shelter.
Another Emergency Shelter resident, in her late teens, just moved into her
own apartment after her 60 days in the Shelter. She came to us from Job Corp.
With encouragement and support from friends and the YWCA, she was able to
save enough from her new full-time job to pay for her deposit and first month's
rent! We are so happy for her and wish her all the best as she moves forward in her
life!
Thank you for an incredible first quarter of this year. While we can thank you,
there aren’t enough words to portray the impact your membership has on our
shelter! To get an inside look, be on the lookout for blog updates and a
documentary about the shelter coming late 2015!
