YWCA Dayton Preble County

We believe that everyone deserves to live a life free from violence.

Since 2004, YWCA Dayton has operated our 24/7 Crisis Hotline and Preble County domestic violence shelter, serving on the front lines of responding to intimate partner violence.

We serve the Preble community with shelter, transitional housing, youth programming, outreach and community education.
