Planet Cares

What is Planet Cares?

Planet Cares is a dynamic community initiative dedicated to empowering local non-profits and amplifying their impact. Our mission is to enhance awareness of the vital services these organizations provide, support the recruitment of dedicated volunteers, and boost their annual fundraising efforts. Through targeted media marketing campaigns, we shine a spotlight on the invaluable work of our area non-profits, connecting them with the community and fostering a network of support. By leveraging the power of media and community engagement, Planet Cares is committed to creating a stronger, more connected community where non-profits can thrive and make a meaningful difference.

Life isn’t clear-cut, so the solution shouldn’t be either. We’re the hub everyone can turn to when they need individualized support plans with compassion and patience. Not only is our staff empathetic, but some have overcome similar obstacles. We collaborate, relate, and truly listen to find a solution that will make the most impact for women and their children. 

Did you know that 33% of Quad Cities residents struggle to pay for their basic needs? YWCA Quad Cities Empowerment Center focuses on keeping families from going into a crisis situation. If a family is in need, YWCA’s Empowerment Services staff will create a plan to bring that family or individual out of the situation. The Center is designed to keep families and individuals out of poverty for good. With an immediate needs pantry, free community laundry, computers and printers, a vast resource library, and staff on hand to help support all clients, YWCA’s Empowerment Services strive to help those in the Quad-Cities struggling to make ends meet.
