Angel Tree - 2025

Put a present under a family's tree this holiday season.

Our Virtual Angel tree is up for this holiday season. This giving tree offers our YWCA community an opportunity to share warmth and joy with program participants and their families. If you would like to support a family this holiday season please click here to be connected with a child’s holiday wishes or email Alexandra Salcedo Mendez, alexandra.salcedo@ywcaofasheville.org to get the details of how you can fulfill a family’s holiday wish.

Programs Served by the Angel Tree:

• MotherLove
  YWCA’s MotherLove program supports pregnant and parenting young adults throughout Buncombe County. Our goals are to help young parents to stay in school and graduate, access higher education and vocational training, and develop the skills and knowledge needed to become strong parents. 

• Getting Ahead In a Just Getting By World
  YWCA’s Getting Ahead program aims to provide financial empowerment for low-income women of all ages and backgrounds to make choices that positively impact themselves, their families, and their community.

• Early Learning Program
  YWCA’s Early Learning Program provides 5-star childcare for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years. Our experienced and compassionate teachers not only provide exceptional care for little ones, but also prepare young children to succeed cognitively, physically, socially, and emotionally. We prioritize families using childcare vouchers or caring for children in the foster care system.

• Empowerment Childcare
  The YWCA provides up to 12 hours of free childcare per week for parents who are in transition, continuing their education, accessing social services, or looking for employment. ECC works closely with the Family Justice Center, Buncombe County Health and Human Services, A-B Tech, Green Opportunities, and Mary Benson House.
