Park's Youth Ranch Volunteer Day
Sienna Women's League has been looking for ways to expand our impact within the Fort Bend Community. In 2023, a member committee evaluated multiple non-profit organizations within Fort Bend, searching for new areas where SWL could offer support: Park's Youth Ranch (PYR) is one of those organizations. PYR provides emergency shelter and services to homeless youth. The program shelters youth ages 7-17 for short periods of time or 16-20 year olds for up to 18 months. PYR is the only non-profit emergency shelter for youth in Fort Bend County. Either of our members visited their facility on April 6 to support with PYR's community event, Go Fish. Our members enjoyed seeing the facility, interacting with the youth and spending time together.
SAVE THE DATE
The Sienna Women's League is excited to host our first ever New Resident Social on April 10 at 7:00 PM at Sawmill Lake Club. So many of our members have experienced moving into a new community and looking for ways to find friends and get connected so we've created an avenue for new women in the community to do just that! Several local businesses will be in attendance to share free samples and SWL Members are putting together a few special treats for those who attend. This event is free and open to all women in Fort Bend County. We hope to meet you there!
