Life isn't clear-cut, so the solution shouldn't be either. The Iowa Empowerment Center is the hub where everyone can turn to when they need individualized support plans with compassion and patience. Not only is our staff empathetic, but some have overcome similar obstacles. We collaborate, relate, and truly listen to find a solution that will make the most impact for women and their children.

Did you know that 33% of Quad Cities residents struggle to pay for their basic needs? The Iowa Empowerment Center focuses on preventing individuals and families from going into a crisis situation. If a family is in need, the Iowa Empowerment Center staff will create a plan to bring that family or individual out of the situation. The Center is designed to keep families and individuals out of poverty for good. With an immediate needs pantry, computers and printers, a vast resource library, and staff on hand to help support all clients, YWCA’s Empowerment Services strive to help those in the Quad-Cities struggling to make ends meet.
