Businesses Under One Roof
YWCA Southeastern Massachusetts invites you
to become one of fifty New Bedford area
companies that will help fund the YWCA’s
much-needed Levi Standish House building
expansion.
Our fifty businesses will be permanently
recognized in the first floor lobby of the
YWCA’s new 12,000 square foot building
addition. We would be honored to welcome
your participation and we ask you to
consider a $500.00 tax deductible
contribution, which can be awarded over two
years, to help support the YWCA’s $4.6
million Under One Roof campaign.
The YWCA is in the midst of a $4.6 million
project to restore its historic Levi
Standish House and construct a LEED-certified
three-floor building addition. The goal of
this expansion project is to consolidate its
programs onto a safe, nurturing and
barrier-free center city campus. The YWCA’s
women’s housing and childcare programs will
be significantly improved with this new
addition. Furthermore, a Teen Center and
Women’s Resource Center will be created as
new resources for our community. The YWCA
will better serve over 5,250 women and
children annually within its expanded Levi
Standish House in a more cost-effective
manner.
