Thank You Excel Energy For Another Great Day Of Service

YWCA St. Paul extends thanks to Xcel Energy for partnering with us again during their annual Day of Service. An Xcel Energy team volunteered their time to transform the yard and playground at our Grotto property. Volunteers improved the site by removing debris, pulling weeds, raking and putting down mulch. Find more information about the Xcel Energy Day of Service event.

Cassandra Yarbrough – YWCA Spotlight Profile

The relationship between Board member Cassandra Yarbrough and YWCA St. Paul started many years ago when she worked in the childcare center. “I guess you could say I’ve come full circle,” laughs the life-long St. Paul resident.

Helping people comes naturally to Cassandra and a reason for volunteering with YWCA St. Paul. “...Serving as a board member is one way to contribute to my community. I wanted to be connected to an organization that was right in my town—a place where I could give back in a meaningful way. The YWCA offered that to me.”

Learn more about Cassandra and her service as a YWCA St. Paul Board Member.
