YWCA of Western Massachusetts Receives $10,000 from Liberty Bank

SPRINGFIELD — The YWCA of Western Massachusetts announced it recently received $10,000 from Liberty Bank to support its mission.

This donation will be used to help fund the YWCA’s “Girls Count” financial empowerment program. The grant will help girls and young adults learn to budget their money and create conditions of success for a more financially secure future.

“By empowering women and girls, we empower future generations,” said Elizabeth Dineen, CEO of the YWCA of Western Massachusetts, adding that the organization is appreciative of Liberty Bank’s commitment to helping build a bright financial future for the girls, teens, and women the YWCA serves.

Founded in 1868, the YWCA of Western Massachusetts is guided by its founding principle to provide shelter, support services, and tools for self-sufficiency for women and girls in the community.
