Helping women and their children thrive at home work schoolcommunity Dear YWCA Friends and Family,

Fiscal year 2013 was grounded in transformation at the YWCA of the City of New York. As we exit the snowiest winter that New York has experienced in years, the regrowth and regeneration that spring brings is a reminder of our many activities and accomplishments. Last year, the YW saw a return to our fundamental roots of empowering women with strengthened programs that give women and girls the tools to thrive at home, school, work and in their community. The accompanying report outlines the work we have done toward growth and transformation for all New Yorkers, especially the women and children that we serve. In 2013, these accomplishments included:

• Providing services to over 2,000 New York families in Manhattan and Brooklyn. • Increasing the number of school-based community gardens after the ﬂ oodwaters of Superstorm Sandy washed our pioneering garden away.

In October 2012, Superstorm Sandy devastated areas of New York City and affected over 500 families served by the YW in Coney Island. Though several of our facilities were destroyed and our headquarter ofﬁ ces were without electricity, the YW family banded together to volunteer and gather resources for communities in need. Everyone, including YW workers affected by the storm, distributed clothing, food items and other donations to families most affected on Coney Island. With the help of many sponsors, we came back stronger with rebuilt and better facilities. We could not have done it without the YW family. Thank you. Sandy Highlights • Sandy destroyed our Roberta Bright Early Learning Center (ELC) and we had to close the program for ﬁ ve months. • YW middle school students showed the resilience of the YW family by banding together to raise $1,100 toward rebuilding the ELC. • We renovated the ELC and added a playground on the roof to serve the kids. • The Storm washed out our garden at P.S. 90. • The YW received numerous donations, including $2,000 from the Whole Kids Foundation, to rebuild the garden.
