The holidays are filled with joy and gratitude, and with all of the thoughtful gifting that surrounds the season, it’s the perfect time to support charities and organizations that benefit others. At Paige Williams Interior Design, we’re proud supporters of the YWCA, and we’d love your help banding together to make a difference this season!

What is the YWCA?

The YWCA exists to eliminate racism, empower women, stand up for social justice, help families, and strengthen communities. The RENEW program helps women start over with their families in a new home by setting up everything that is needed to get back on their feet. These women have survived domestic violence, been separated from their families, and many of them have nothing to their name. In order to qualify, the women are entered into a job placement program and must secure a job prior to applying.

In our opinion, having a place these women can call their own, as well as having a safe place for their children, is an essential part of starting over.

How does PWID support YWCA?

Paige has been the lead designer and assistant designer on many home installations for the survivors. The YWCA has a warehouse full of donated furniture, home accessories, new mattresses, toys, and kitchen essentials to fully stock each home or apartment for women in need. Sourcing from the donated furniture, art, and accessories that work together helps create a floor plan that works for each person. This is where the magic happens!

How can we support YWCA?

Although so many great items are donated, the YWCA is still in need of essentials like new bedding, pillows, and other accessories that are standard in every home install. This holiday season, our team is raising funds to help purchase these items to support the cause. We’re currently accepting donations through:

PayPal (or scan the QR code below!)
Amazon or Visa Gift Cards: Drop off mail to 1881 General George Patton Drive, Suite #101, Franklin, TN 37067

In addition to funds, the YWCA is always accepting donations of used furniture, rugs, lamps, art, and complete sets of kitchen dishes, so keep this in mind next time you’re making a swap in your own home! We have placed many PWID client custom curtains, furniture, and rugs in new homes for these women, and they are all so excited and thankful to have anything beautiful to come home to!
