This place it truly a home away from home. I came to wheeling and entered the wind program.. because I was beat and tired of addiction.. the wind program and the ywca helped me find the true me. A women my mother and father can proudly call their daughter. The people of the ywca of wheeling are truly there to help you succeed and grow.. they are truly amazing people. No matter what's going on in my life they are always there to help me push through. The bring women up and not bring us down. The ywca is truly God's angels sent to heaven. Thank you ywca for everything you do to help women climb back up the ladder after we have been beaten and broken down.

The YWCA Wheeling has changed my life. I am more socially aware and more empathetic to the lives of women and children around me. We face so many trials and tribulations in the world but the YWCA Wheeling offers opportunities for women, whether escaping abuse, in need of shelter when homeless, women seeking recovery housing, needing clothes, assistance when being discriminated against and/or support and a referral. The YWCA Wheeling is the organization to call for help.

Too many chiefs and not enough Indians. I can not tell you the enormous lack of responsibility and personal lack of responsibility these so called leaders have. No moral compass. A lot of good people have left due to lies and lack of accountability in the management. Its all about who's butt you kiss. Such a shame. Would never give to this organization. Shady stuff goes on.

This organization is beginning to get a questionable reputation. their homeless shelter is barely supervised and is shoddy due to contributions to the homeless program going instead to other areas or being sold outright. the y has no support programs in place to assist traumatized, mentally ill or addicted homeless residents, although such support is mandatory for the residents of the wheeling ywca's family violence units located in a seperate area. building security is shockingly indifferant-the basement door is left wide open and unsupervised during bingo on friday nights. nepotism is the rule.
