project is just one way to show our support.”
The YWCA has raised over $920,000 toward its $4.8 million capital campaign. Phase I accomplished the exterior preservation of the historic Levi Standish House located at 20 South Sixth Street in New Bedford. The second phase of the YWCA’s campaign will fund the construction of an approximate 12,800 square foot building addition which will enable the YWCA to provide a newly designed infrastructure that meets the growing needs and changes of quality
childcare and women’s residential housing. The YWCA plans to construct its new building addition by its 100th anniversary in 2011.
“It is with great pleasure that we are able to build upon our longtime relationship with Citizens Bank in such a meaningful way. Its support of the YWCA’s mission and new facility will assist us in providing critical programs for the families of New Bedford,” declared Jan Baptist, President of the YWCA’s Board of Directors.
The YWCA has a vision of peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all people.
