Power of the Purse: Fighting financial abuse—one fabulous purse at a time
Grab your girlfriends and get ready for a fabulous night of shopping, fun, and giving back! YWCA Yakima’s Power of the Purse returns in 2026—an unforgettable evening of handbags, signature cocktails, delicious bites, and heart-filled impact.
✨ Get excited for:

📅 2026 date and event details coming soon—stay tuned!
It’s more than retail therapy—it’s real change. Proceeds from Power of the Purse support YWCA’s vital work in the Yakima Valley, providing financial education, literacy, and empowerment for women and families escaping domestic violence.
Why it matters:
Financial abuse—like restricting credit cards, blocking access to bank accounts, or sabotaging employment—is a hidden but powerful form of control. Your support helps survivors build confidence, take control of their finances, and create safe, independent lives.
