COMMUNITY EVENTS
A few times a year the Village organizes to support a cause close to our hearts that supports women and children in need in Chester County. Sometimes we stock the pantries of our partner organizations, or collect back-packs for kids in foster care, or build gift baskets to thank our Lady Veterans at the Coatesville Vets Hospital, or knit hats and bonding squares for preemies!
What we do depends on what moves our members' hearts any given month. Have an idea? Let us know!
Most of the organization activity, news and updates for these special events and causes happen on our Facebook Page, so if you're able to join us there, please do!!

Diapers. Most of us take them for granted. Run out? Grab a pack at the store!
What happens when you don’t have those resources? Think about how precious a diaper becomes. It’s precious for the kid who has to sit in a soiled one longer than they’d like, or longer than their skin can handle, because you have to make the pack last the rest of the week. It’s precious to the parent or caregiver who wants to care for their sweet child, but has to make them wait to be changed.
Diapers = dignity. Remember the note we got from one of our box users? That our boxes give her hope to “be a better mother”? When Crystal L. went to stock the Ash Park box a week or so ago, she posted to the Village group:
"As I was stocking, a woman stopped and asked me what size the diapers were that I had just put in. She usually gets them from the CYWA when she needs help - she was walking home from trying to get some, and they were out. They were the right size! I am going to help. I’m going to organize a diaper drive for them."
So here we are, teaming with Crystal to bring her drive to life and leverage the power of our Village!!
We're challenging this village to raise $1,000 for diapers – not only for our boxes, but for the CYWA who actively gives diapers to those in need in Coatesville community.
Two Ways to Help:
1. DONATE BELOW
100% of the funds raised on this campaign will be used to purchase diapers in all sizes AT WHOLESALE cost for an off-label local diaper manufacturer. This is not only the easiest way to help, but gets us the most diapers for the dollar.
2. SHIP OR DROP OFF DIRECT TO CYWA
CYWA has plenty of storage and is in need of diapers in all sizes: preemie through 5/6 and pull-ups too! Ship to the address below (and make sure to click 'no weekend delivery'). In person donations are welcome anytime between 9am-5pm Monday through Friday.
