Welcome to YWCA of Fort Dodge

The YWCA of Fort Dodge has been in existence since 1909, and at its current location since 1914. The three-story facility provides residents for those women with children and single women seeking recovery from substance. This 90-day substance use treatment program offers a variety of services and opportunities to both women and men, such as evidence-based addiction programming, AA and NA support meetings, laundry facilities, gym access, and donation items (clothing, hygiene, etc.) to help meet their needs. The YWCA also acts as a Food Pantry for Fort Dodge, helping to decrease food insecurity in our community.

What We Do

Substance abuse is a life-threatening medical condition. Untreated, those who suffer this illness will die: they will overdose; they will develop cancers of the liver, pancreas and urinary tract.

Being at the YWCA Center for Life Empowerment,, I’ve learned the amazing person, woman, and mother that I am. I’ve gained absolutely amazing bonds and friendships with women.
