2010 Annual Bazaar

This Saturday, November 13, YWCA of Queens will continue its long-standing tradition of hosting its annual Bazaar event to celebrate the holiday season. From 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., this full day event will consist of delicious, homemade ethnic food, entertainment and bargain shopping perfect for gifts like toys, clothes, electronics and housewares.


For the past 31 years, the YWCA of Queens's Bazaar has become a tradition in the borough for celebrating the area's cultural diversity and uniting families in a common goal to strengthen and better our community. Proceeds from the Bazaar will go to develop and expand critical programs that many low-income and immigrant community members have come to depend on like youth GED classes and English language proficiency assistance. Programs like these enrich, empower and inspire individuals to realize their potential and reach their dreams.

YWCA Halloween

Pumpkin... Minnie Mouse... and Fireman... OH MY!

On Friday children from both After School and Universal Pre-Kindergarten celebrated Halloween by dressing up in fun costumes and playing Halloween-related games! UPK kids even went 'trick or treating' around the YWCA building where staffers dropped bags of candy in their buckets. Needless to say we had an energetic bunch afterward.
