YWCA Volunteers

Our city’s problems are many
Solutions seem  painfully few
It’s so easy to find yourself wailing
“Where to start; there’s too much to do.”
Yet for one group the answer seems simple
Their direction is always quite clear
They reach out their hands when the need comes
They’re our beloved volunteer.
The common vision they work for
Encompasses folks one and all
Peace, justice, freedom, and dignity


No matter how helpless or small.
They serve in a myriad of venues
That’s the most essential piece of this pie
No matter how young or how worldly


No matter how educated or spry.
Some help sell the dumplings in August
Some work on correspondence or books
Some keep us apprised of legislation
Some help in the kitchen and cook
They work to keep women off welfare
Making sure children have supplies
They clean closets and scrub floors
Seeing the world through the most needy eyes.
Whether working for Appleseed Project               
Fund raising street to street; door to door 
They willingly do with a smile
What others might consider a bore
Some serve on the Board—on committees
Schedule classes for young girls and boys
No talent to small or too simple
Each volunteer act increases all joys.
So today I acknowledge your efforts
And in your honor proudly raise cheers
May God Bless you one and all
