2026 WOMEN’S HALL OF FAME

The Hall of Fame event brings the community together to celebrate the significant contributions of women and fundraises to support YWCA’s services, including the operation of Stark County’s largest homeless shelter for women, children, and families; Early Head Start and preschool services; and permanent supportive housing programs that connect eligible households with housing solutions.

We are proud to partner with corporations, foundations, and organizations to help us further our mission in service to our community.

We welcome new sponsors and partners and look forward to finding ways to work together to keep people safe, provide opportunities for economic empowerment to all in our community, and stand up for justice and equity.
