I volunteered for Candy Lane and had a great time. The staff there are super friendly. The lady there in charge of Candy Lane seemed very appreciative

Decent place until you get on your feet convenient and near everything . If you’re working or looking for work they will give you Uta bus passes , there’s after school and camp in building for kids school bus that picks kids to and from school a chef that cooks breakfast lunch and dinner and a Whole Foods giveaway of food in a 24 /7 fridge in the shared kitchen . A private hotel vibe room for u and kids ,Also they have an office space where you can go into anytime & pick up brand new free clothes shoes pajamas underwear socks toiletries ,etc. they even give away new bikes for the kids !if u can’t get through I advise you to KEEP calling until a bed becomes available this is the best place to be there’s nothing better .you will forget you’re in a shelter..with that being said upon my move out because I found my own place . They only gave me a thrift shop voucher ..typically they help u get on your feet after move out but I was told in the summer they “freeze accounts” so they can’t help ppl with anything when it’s time to move ..I was promised at minimum air beds until I get my own furniture and I am STILL awaiting for Zarmina to send me a response that I can get it . I feel like once you leave that place they really show they don’t care about you . It’s a horrible feeling . But for what it’s worth I still recommend Ywca. And I am grateful for my time thereAlso for child case manager I STRONGLY do NOT recommend kamie..she will spy the hell out of you and have other staff watch you . She goes above and beyond in hopes you are doing something wrong . Her energy is off putting and when she called herself giving my son a bike it had no wheels on it . I don’t know if she was testing me to upset me or what but I declined it and closed my door . And if you have any real questions or concerns she NEVER has an answer ..yet she will try to call you to have pointless meetings..her being my case manager for my kids was incredibly frustrating and purposeless.

They use what is donated to them to there advantage not constant about any thing very bad comunacation and treated very unfairly if they feel they are challenged in any way lied to and belittled. by staff if in need or ask for help

It's sad how these people claim to help women and children who have been involved in Domestic violence but they're only willing to help if it's a partner! They've forgotten that Domestic violence also comes from family members and people trying to get away from the situation deserve help. Please don't contact them unless it involves your partner.

I can’t help but wonder what you’re doing now to ensure equitable access to your childcare center? Is it affordable, so it doesn’t end up as just another gentrified, classist and racist business- only obtainable by well off white families, who don’t mind exploiting women for childcare?Have you thought about opening up another childcare center and becoming a leader in the field by paying well above the minimum living wage? Maybe providing former clients with well paying jobs and childcare? Ensuring we receive a UBI?I’m not sure how you’re helping your clients long term if you’re not heavily focused on the barriers that keep us from being independent: Lack of living wages and lack of universal childcare!Could you learn anything from Freefrom, on how you can help DV survivors- as well as how to treat employees? So you can actually retain them long term and serve your clients better?

I was homeless with my dog a year ago and I'm a victim of DV for many years, they refuse me to stay there due to my dog not being la service dog, real depressing that Utah can't help women getting abuse from family or partner

I thought were the best thing that came my way in a long time. Til one day when I got back home and I was told to leave on a Sunday. After my case manager and the Director told me I was good the Friday before. No where to go, no car NOTHING. To this day I still haven't been given a reason? " Go figure"

I'm very disgusted with the ywca. People donate things and staff takes first pick then puts the rest of whatever is left out for the woman to take. I watched them kick out a girl with a 6 month old baby and she had no where to go. In my case my house was burned down by my abusive ex so I went there to be safe and I thought they would help me but no. They kicked me and my daughters out when they knew dam well we had no where to go. Also they did it right in the middle of a terrible snow storm. I dont think people should donate to them. They don't do anything to help or support the women.

Horrible place, employees are over worked and an underpaid. Poor management and very poor communication skills are exchanged between employees and management. A very hostile work ethic environment that has a very high turn over rate due to not properly traing their employees and a very high turn over rate.
