KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The YWCA of Knoxville and the Tennessee Valley is getting a big donation — $1 million from the Boyd Foundation.
It will go towards helping expand a program that helps women get back on their feet by finding independence and self-sufficiency, after facing difficult times. It is meant to help them restart their lives.
"YWCA's program does a tremendous job in helping women that have fallen on hard times get back on their feet and get back to building a successful life," said Randy Boyd, a philanthropist and board member of the Boyd Foundation.
